Superman Piece

This will get longer. At some point I want to turn it into a full fledged comic script. Right now I call it the Superman piece, but it really is just supposed to be a Superman like hero. In fact, when I first was imagining it, the balling of the fists was to be where the force to fly came from (energy or rockets - I couldn't decide). But this is the start. A lot of my writing starts from small scenes like this and then the story develops:

He could hear the cries.

He looked around. No one was really in the mall yet.

He looked up.

"Straight up out the skylights."

He knew the property damage would be severe. The skylights weren't going to be the only thing destroyed. Probably all the glass around and some the structure as well. He was going to have to go way beyond supersonic from the ground.

But no one being around meant a minimum rick to humans.

He look up and balled his fists.

"Up, up and away."
