“The Superhero”

No one seemed to need him anymore. He was lonely and always walked around looking down towards the ground. Everyone used to love him and cheer for him, but lately that just wasn’t the case. He knew that saving people was his purpose in life, and now he just didn’t feel like he had one. He wanted to find a way for the people of the town to look up to him again and actually want him around. It would be difficult, but he was a superhero and if he could fly and save people from harm, then he could definitely figure this out. It was a perfect sunny day and not one cloud could be seen in the sky. The superhero decided to take a long walk and think through everything that he was dealing with. The sun was beating down on him and his feet were beginning to burn from the sand that was underneath them. Finally, after walking for a few hours, he came to a little, white house that seemed to be secluded from the rest of civilization. He decided to take a chance and see if anyone was home. He walked up to the house and knocked on the door, hoping that someone would answer. An older lady came to the door after a few minutes. She invited him into her house and he took her invitation and went in. They sat for hours and talked about many different things and he explained to the lady everything that he was going through and dealing with while he had been back in town. She gave him advice and told him to follow his heart even though it might end up being a hard, long journey, and that if it was something he believed in, he should try to become that superhero that he had once been. He thanked her for the advice and her company and was back on his journey, this time heading back to town, hoping for the best. He arrived in town and to his surprise there were balloons and people cheering everywhere. People had actually noticed that he had left the town and realized all the great things that the superhero had done for them in the past. Now, the superhero was finally getting what he deserved, a celebration of his success and accomplishments. He was finally back to a state of happiness and was no longer in search for who he was because he was himself all along, just who he was meant to be- the superhero.
