Superhero Live! — Episode 1 — Origin
by aaron talbotA spoken word comic book rock opera…
Episode 1, “Origin”
A lowly security guard stands outside Genoflex Laboratories - a government contracted weapons research facility. He hears a sound in the darkness…
Suddenly masked men appear from the shrubs surrounding the building. The gravel under his feet crunches as he readies himself for their attack.
As fists pummel his face from every direction, he wonders how his ambition led him to such a pathetic end. Will he ever be able to clear his father’s name? Or will his father always be known as a dirty cop, and his son remembered only as a failure?
Will the two ghostly figures watching from the shadows intervene? One holding a glowing guitar, the other a mighty bass - they play with an unearthly intensity as the young guard is battered by half a dozen balaclava-clad thugs, and are seemingly oblivious to his cries of pain.
Or are they?
The adventure is just beginning…
