Prompt: Never Never Land or Bust…
Most of us grew up on fairy tales. Some of us learned our lesson from the Grimm brothers, some of us learned about culturally acceptable body proportions and happy ever after from Mr. Walt Disney. Either way, we all have our favorite character. For this prompt, write a Dear John, Sorry Mom, or Good-bye Cruel World from your favorite hero or villain’s point of view.

Good-Bye, Cruel World,
You won’t have me to
kick around anymore.
Yeah, I’m on the way out.
Thinking of taking the long
way out of here,
probably loop around the milky way,
maybe have a look over at at Sirius,
see if there’s anything of interest that way,
because there isn’t here.
You take and you take,
and what have you ever done for me?
I’ve given my all,
and I still get confused for a bird
or a god damned plane.
With disdain,
Superman.
