Meanwhile, at the sanctum…
After the battle for the sanctum all was quiet. Given so many of the fighters had super-strength the door was easily sealed with a heavy board. It wouldn’t stop the mechanical monsters if they returned, still, the looky-loos would be kept at bay. (the ones wanting selfies and autographs were the worst… and the hardest to eject). It also stopped the journalists sniffing for a story.
Once again, half the city had been destroyed. It seemed every evil henchman and insane assistant was trying to make a name for themselves these days.
They had time to rest.
For now anyway.

I loved the idea of superheroes having to battle not only mechanical monsters but also selfie seekers. I think you’ve created a new genre
Hahaha thanks Neil. Yeah I thought what would happen today?
It’s a thankless task 😉
Can you imagine it?
I’m watching a series called The Boys on Amazon Prime at the moment – about superheroes gone bad, struggling to deal with everyday life and a whole lot worse. It’s very entertaining!
Oh it’s on my list to watch ! Can’t wait.
Dear Laurie,
A very different take on the prompt. Selfie seekers and looky-loos? Love it.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle. They’ll always be someone clambering for a picture of the heroes with their masks on.
Nice job.
Thanks!
Nice read
Strange
Thank you
Sounds like the mayhem in Hong Kong. The world has gone mad and the henchmen are resting to licking their wounds and plan their next round of hell. Anyone for a selfie?
A bit worrying to think about
Great take Laurie. I got poked in the eye by a selfie-seeker the other day.
Here’s my story!
Ha! Thanks Keith
Monsters, looky-loos, selfie seekers and journalists all dumped into one pot. Fascinating 🙂
Hahaha thanks
Alas, we no longer need a super villain to trash half a city; we’re far too good at it ourselves.
Oh this is so true
OH the selfie invaders… sometimes you just have to refrain from being spectacular
Right? I mean after a battle you’d be sweaty, hair a mess, covered in blood. It’s not the greatest look for a photo
Your story reminds me of the way the villains act in the TV series, Gotham. Good story, Laurie.
