Superhero, Somewhat, Kind Of, Sort Of
By : Iris P. Concepcion

It was one scorching afternoon when I took this mask from a kid who, a day ago, was hit by a running motorcycle. She complained of aches and wanted to do some gym work after.

I thought this avatar-friendly gadget saved her. I tried it on and had my nose tweaked longer than its usual size.

What does this say about me? I like my eyes peeking through the hole like some mortal kombat warrior, hawk-eyed and preparing for flight. The look promised a conquered universe.

The reality is: I simply wanted to buy some snacks across a store from my house. I got my wish and looked golden eating with this mask on, outmoding the fire eater in X-Men.

A superhero on a blink. The mask costs less than $1 cent. But in this blog, it appears priceless. :-)
