Excerpt:
In my cliché black combat boots, still sort of in my sweats and pullover sweater, I ran from my home to the last place I had heard the scream.
Half asleep and technically unpracticed in my powers, I wasn’t too sure how this whole thing was going to go down, but maybe I knew whoever was messing with the girl and could just tell him to back off.
Of course, if it were someone I knew, they would probably just laugh because there wasn’t a single hero, villain, or police officer who didn’t know that I was banned from using my powers.
The perks of being slapped with a ban continued to grow.
I rounded a dark corner and came across a well-lit house. The front door was open, and a brown box was on the ground, almost as if it had fallen out of someone’s arms. I groaned and stayed in the shadows. I stupidly—no surprise there—forgot my mask.
Not that I always wore a mask, I was trying to see how long that stunt Superman pulled with not wearing a mask would last in the real world. So far, it had been about two years, and no one had recognized me. Unlike Superman, though, my glasses were necessary.
Good thing for contacts! That I stupidly forgot. Wow, I guessed midnight and I didn’t get along as we used too.
How did you forget to wear your glasses, dude? Like, it’s impossible to forget to wear your glasses!
I rolled my eyes. Leave it to me to forget one of the most important things.
I took out my signature blue beanie and pulled it on, hiding the color of my hair and as much of my face as possible. I inched a bit closer to the house, suddenly wondering if I should be worried that I hadn’t heard anything. As if on cue, the girl screamed, and the sound of glass breaking echoed through the night.
Without a second thought, I raced into her house. Adrenaline coursed through my body, making all my senses sharp.
In her natural habitat, Penelope Ray can be found with headphones on and furiously typing away on her laptop, completely oblivious to what's going on around her except for her attention-demanding cats.
Though writing about superheroes and their crazy adventures is her current obsession, she started off as a quiet romance author, but a year ago she found Wattpad and let her imagination run wild. It hasn't come back yet.
And that's when she discovered me, Coal Black. Her hero, her dashing prince charming, the wind in her sails, and her motivation to keep writing. Happiest in the rain and snow surrounded by cats, Penelope writes her next book while trying not to overthink her author bio or how she's going to write the ending to the story.
