The Friendliest Mushroom
Installment 1: The Legend of Batman
Summer in Florida is simultaneously the best and worst. School is finally out of the way, you can jump in a pool and splash around, go to the beach, or just hang out with your friends or play video games in your house like a shut-in neet. But it's also hot as hell, prone to rain and thunderstorms, and home to the epicentre of the multiverse: Out in the freaking boonies in a mythical place called Cassadega, a portal to the multiverse opened up, with people from all over flowing out like there was no tomorrow before slowly spreading around the country and eventually the world.
Me, knowing this had happened, had kept my eyes keen for someone noticeable to show up, but no one came. And then that's when it happened: One day when I was walking home from my neighborhood pool, I saw a husband and wife getting mugged. As I rose my phone to call 911, a shadow drew over me and the thugs. But who was the owner of this shadow?
BATMAN!
Punches were thrown, and at the end of the day, I was the only one not scared off. I indeed got out of there, but I left with an inherent curiosity. Who else was out there, and what shenanigans would I get involved in? What was next for me? Only time would tell.
(This is more of a slice-of-life jokey collection of short, diary-esque installments than something with a coherent plot. If you want to contribute to this, go ahead, or critique it, and give me ideas how to make it better!)
