Shortfall: A Superhero Story

by J.D. Smith

No capes. No powers. Ben Jones is about to walk into the worst time of his life. This isn't a superhero story, this is the story of a desperate man who watches his entire world collapse around him and when the rubble clears he finds Mia standing there. She's been coming to Earth every 100 years for the past few millennia to judge if it's time to reveal themselves or blow up the planet, and this time Ben is her chosen guide.
