Origin

Came too early
To the world,
Fighting,
Into the breech
My very own superhero
Drew his first breath,
and
Glared into that  abyss,
Spitting into the darkness.
Having won the battle,
He smiled.






This weekend we're having some fun with the prompt, some super-powered fun, that is. We're asking you to write the origin story to the superhero of your choice in exactly 33 words.
