The Humbled Crater


Sitting Dumbstruck in the crater that was Hulio's Cafe Max couldn't figure out how this devastation had been caused... but he knew it had something to do with Marion.

Standing up he thought back to the last 24hrs to see if he could piece together what had happened. He clearly remembered working all night in his lab trying yet again to reverse engineer the accident which had given his repulsor field powers.

Next he recalled arriving home in time to get a call from Marion his lady love who wanted to meet up that afternoon for coffee at Hulio's. He had taken a short nap, woken to groom himself and eaten a late brunch.

From his recollection he arrived on time to see Marion sitting in their usual table in a beautiful red sun dress. As he approached she looked like she was crying. Why had she been crying... why couldn't he remember what happened next.

He crawled up the side of the crater to see a host of the cities finest rushing around tending to wounded civilians and his vision narrowed at the sight of a man clutching a woman covered in blood screaming. Than he remembered... Marion had broken up with him.

Truly the last thing he had remembered before the crater was closing his eyes and wishing really hard that all of this would just go away. Dear god what had he done!
