Just came back to this one to say hello! I was in Chicago briefly and just making my rounds again here. Sure hope your contest fills up. I loved your idea of it,Harry.

Excellent depict--I would not want to act in any movie facing a gun. That certain death. I wont care if they call the bullets blank

Yup.. we all have to dance. I just don't want to do the purgatory thing for long periods of time and there's no good looking women or something. Now I'm nervous Harry! Blessings

Well written with cynicism and humor Harry - I guess they are all pretenders. All the best for the contest..Maria ~ hugs

Heroes truly are everywhere. Some choose to hide in the shadows, while others seem to be right in front of you, and you don't even know it. Beautifully written and presented. ~ Brandy

Well said in such little words! Unfortunately, some real life heroes never get recognized. Great write, Harry!

Yes, it’s not real blood, and they have no high capacity magazines. Jaws and fists of iron, otherwise one punch, and you’re watching them all from the comfort of a hospital bed. In your brevity, there is wit.

No where is make believe and reality further apart than when it comes to heroes. In reality heroes can't dodge bullets (but they are willing to take them). Real heroes don't wear capes. The dress like everyone else. They just think different. In movies the hero is a handsome or beautiful individual. In reality, heros are plural and they are diverse in looks, wealth, skill, education, etc
