Outbox: latest news

Hi Mom,

You won’t believe how obsessed everyone around here is becoming with the supes. Besides the 24-hour hotline there’s a huge twitter feed, fan groups and at least one front page article in every edition of the school paper. Even Brook is getting a little into the action. (She still acts like she’s against the whole thing, but her tone has changed lately, since last week she was literally swept off her feet—and you’ll never guess by which super. Yep, you guessed it.)

I know I promised to send you every article, but there’s so much more coverage than I expected, and I’ve been so busy with, you know, everything going on this semester, that I can’t keep up. And besides, everything shows up online, and once it’s there Google can always find it for you.

I will send you one article—one terrible, awful article. (Here it is.) I think it gives a pretty good idea of how it must be to be a superhero on a college campus—don’t you think? It was almost painful to read, but it might give you a good laugh. I feel like Softstone did a good job in the interview though, even with what he was up against.

I’ll call later in the week. For now, I’ve got a tone of homework to do battle with.

All my love,
Ira
