The Continuing Crisis:

Flash Fact!

So was down at the 'Murder Kroger' earlier, helping Mom run some chores and such. Was down in the bread aisle, when this lady comes around the corner pushing her cart along with her two little boys strapped into its fold down tray. At the sight of me one of the boy's eyes went as he started frantically pointing at my t-shirt - the red one with the familiar yellow lightning bolt.

"It's the Flash!" he shouts excitedly.

His brother's eyes bulged as he gasped: "Oooohhhh".

Their mother just simply laughed and smiled at me with this helpless but playful shrug.

Boy: "Wha'chu doin', Flash?"

Me: "Well, young man, even us superheroes need to help their mothers out from time to time."

Other Boy: "Why aren't you runnin', Flash?"

Me: "Sorry, but I can only tap into the Speed Force for special emergencies."

Both boys nodded sagely at this, as if it made perfect sense to them. The mom told them to let the 'Flash' do his 'shopping' and both boys waved goodbye at me. I saluted back with a 'Justice League' sized wink.

And that was the one minute I got to spend as a superhero this week.

You're never too young to learn the truth about Zombies!
