The Impath: A Superhero Novella
Some kids find their power. Julius Eberhart had his forced out of him.
He's a quiet, lanky teenager from the South Side of Chicago. But when the COVID lockdown presses the city down like a thumb, Julius starts noticing things he can't unfeel. Someone suffers nearby, and something ignites in his chest. Heat. Then it spreads — through his arms, his legs, every nerve — and suddenly he's something else entirely. Stronger. Faster. Wired.
Then it crashes. Hard.
His mother counsels broken families at a Christian nonprofit while their own block quietly unravels. Julius can't fix any of that. But he can feel it. And feeling it changes him.
Empathy as a weapon. Impact as a purpose.
Fans of Jason Reynolds and Angie Thomas will recognize the streets — but the stakes here are superhuman.
The question isn't whether Julius can handle the power. It's whether he can survive what triggers it.
