Outside The Prison Walls

     They had made it. Dale and Jim had managed to escape from the prison. After years of careful planning, they were free.
     "What are you going to to do," asked Dale, "now that you're a free man?".
     Jim replied "I think I'll lie low for a while. Maybe find a job and save up money to start a business. What about you Dale?" he questioned, "do you have anywhere to go?" Dale paused. He had not thought about this before.     
     "Well, I doubt that my wife would take me back now," he remarked. "Its been so long since we've seen each other, she probably has a whole new life by now." They sat there for a few minutes. Then they heard the barking of guard dogs and men yelling in the distance.
     "We should probably leave before we're caught," exclaimed Jim
     "Good idea. But where should we go?"
     Jim announced "Well, there is a small town about 7 miles south of here. If we hurry we can get there before nightfall." They got up of the ground, brushed themselves off and started the long walk to their new lives.

And You Thought Super Man Was Cool...

  There is one super power that conquers all other super powers. With it, I would be unbeatable. It is the power to shape shift. When you really think about it, there are no flaws. Name any super power and there is something or someone that I would be able to transform into and possess that power. If I want super strength, I can transform into a bear or Mr.T and beat my foes into submission. If I want to fly, within a second I'm an eagle soaring through the air. Lets say I need to hide. I can simply turn into an innocent old women crossing the street and no one would look twice. One of my favourite things to do would be transforming myself into an important figure such as Barrack Obama or The Dali Lama and ruling a country or even the world. I would make my own laws and change the world for the better. Nothing could stop me from achieving my tasks whether they be for the good of man kind or for personal gain. These are only a few examples of the things I could do. I wouldn't just use this power to help others but for my own enjoyment as well. Lets say I'm really craving an ice cream cone but I have no money. In a few seconds I turn into the manager of the ice cream shop and I can now get all the free ice cream I desire. Of course I would pay back the ice cream shop by saving them from the blast of a giant death ray. As for a name, there are so many choices. I could decide on something simple and obvious such as "Shape-Shifting Man" but that would be boring and it takes way to long to say. Something like "The Morpher" would be shorter and more catchy but I still don't really like it. I think I would just stick with Ethan. Its simple and would allow me to relate with my fellow citizens because I wouldn't seem above them with some fancy title. Life would be great. Everyone would love me and I could do whatever I wanted. Shape shifting is indisputably the best super power there is.
