A 100 Word Story
The
hardest part of accepting you’re not a superhero anymore is the realization
that truth, justice, and the American way aren’t black and white. They all exist
in shades of gray. And, one day – perhaps more than one – you have to make the
decision to do a little wrong in order to do a greater right. The difficulty isn’t
in worrying about being caught by someone else: it’s living with yourself; with
the death of your idealism. After believing in something with everything you
are – then violating it – you feel your heart break… and know you’ll be damned
for it.
