Prompt Post - Part Ten

[yj_anon]

The Immortality Clause (1/2)

[anonymous]

Billy Batson was ten years old. He lived with a man named Dudley H. Dudley, affectionately nicknamed ‘Uncle Dudley’, and, prior to living with the man he had been homeless.

A dark figure stepped out from the shadows. Billy’s head jerked up.

“Billy, you’ve been here for hours. What’s going on?”

“I-It’s nothing. Just saying goodbye to a friend of mine.”

Supermans face shifted in that moment, as he floated over. His feet lightly skimmed the grass, and suddenly Billy was seized by the urge to yell, scream, shout, do something.
