If you’re looking for yuletide cynicism here, you’re shopping in the wrong place. This is New York City’s time of year.

When we left at Thanksgiving, Michael (Lisa’s dad) had the...

Dan the Hero, Part Vii
...“Remember what I told you of my pa, of what I shouted at you on that night, you want a better world? Then help others, but you gotta do it one at a time. “I save one person, does this save the world? Of course not, but the fact of it remains, that person is still here, to live their...

Dan the Hero, Part Vi
...She was actually taken aback by that, by the casualness of the whole thing, was this the man who had snarled at her? The brute with such simple understanding? “Well you can go on, if you have questions, I was a bit surprised your sought me out, I though after last time you’d be upset, but both of us were stressed, things...

Dan the Hero, Part V
...He left here there, and she had a stunned look, so did the first responders standing by, no one had ever heard Dan talk that much, much less express the feelings deep inside. Needless to say, Tanya caught lots of flak for her behavior, her network caught hell, most did blow over within a few weeks, but Tanya felt real doubts within...

Cast as absurd? “You’re not the first of your kind to find me, to pester with questions of shortcomings, to ask why I bother, when ‘all is lost,’ to show...

Dan the Hero, Part Iii
...It was amidst the aftermath of this that Tanya first saw the man in the flesh, he was half-blackened by the soot and smoke, so taxed that even he struggled for breath. People were circling around the man, the cops treated him like one of their own, brought him water, dispatched out the patients, Dan could hear their every whimper and groan. Tanya...

Dan the Hero, Part Ii
...One such person was the bold Tanya Trace, a reporter who worked online click-bait, she lived in New York, knew all the right names, liked the right causes, knew which folk to hate. She’d see a tale of Dan saving the day, and the sight of it made her roll her eyes, because now matter what The Hero did she and the...

Dan the Hero, Part I
It seemed like it was a comic book-thing, when news of the guy appeared to the world, a person with powers far beyond man, who could pick up a bus, give it a hurl.
