Prologue introduction to Open Writing World "Phil Phillips: Superhero"

Prologue

    Imagine if you had a superpower, just one… What would you pick? Odds are you’ve had this discussion at 3am.  Perhaps a game of Truth or Dare, perhaps one friend was just a little too stoned and it fell out.  Flight?  Invulnerability? 

    “I’d pick the ability to fill things” sparked a conversation that lasted days.  How could you use it for good, for bad, for fun? What’s the most innocent way to make the most change?   It made standing in line behind unpleasant people easier.  “I’d fill their bladder.” “I’d fill their kid with sugary snacks”   Or perhaps touch into altruism. “I’d fill his pocket with twenty-dollar bills.”  “I’d fill her with hope.”

    In a world of superheroes, you have heroes who have the ability of Flight, Super Strength, Invulnerability, Can read minds…  There’s one guy, the most potentially dangerous of them all.  Phil Phillips.  And he can Fill things.
