Deep in the mountains of Canada lives a lazy wizard of evil. Mr.Miziester, but most people just refer to him as Mr. M. He is a insane rebel who is in training to be a sage. Lately he has been working his mind control powers on his sidekick the Grinch. The Grinch is a notorious thief, he has a record of stealing Christmas, the presents of little children, and Santa's job.
On the other hand ten-thousand miles away in a playground in Chicago sleeps Power Hobo. He doesn’t realize it yet but he is a superhero inside. His sidekick Santa knew who he was from the beginning though and he was going to get it out of him and save Christmas and the World.
***
One night Power Hobo awoke to a “Ho, Ho, Ho!” from up in the sky. He then saw that it was Santa Clause so he shouted “Hey fat man down here.” Santa lowered the sleigh and said “Hop in; we need to talk…”
Once they got into the sky Santa said “First I’m not fat I’m big boned and second of all I have an extraordinary gift for you”
Anxiously boasted out “What? Huh? Wait!” So many thoughts were running through his head. He felt like he didn’t even know himself anymore.
Santa could tell that there was going to be a lot of explaining to do once they got to the North Pole. Santa softly said” All in good time, all in good time.”
When the long journey finally ended Santa said ”Son you have a power no one else has… you’re a superhero.
PH took a long time to soak all this in because at first he didn’t know what a superhero was. He thought to himself maybe it’s a type of rich loser hobo or something. Whatever it was he knew it had to be better than what he is now. Oh and it was.
When he showed back up to Santa’s throne room he said “I’m ready to be a superhero.” He thought to himself what am I getting myself into?
He didn’t know it but he just locked himself into 5 months of long hard training . He was soon going to be battling Mr. Miziester and his sidekick the Grinch.
After the hard perilous months of training he was no longer just a hobo he was a true Power Hobo. Power Hobo has now learned the tricks of the trade and is ready to go against Mr. M
“PH you’ve come a long way, and I think your ready.” Said Santa. So out from under his desk he pulled out a old video camera. I beeped as it counted down 3, 2, 1 and it said who is Mr. M? The video took about one hour
Later after the video seminar on Mr. M Santa and PH got into the sleigh and wee off to the Mountains. The duo of a Magical Christmas man and a Hobo were going to save the world. Once their flight was over and there reached their destination they were ready.
“At about this hour the Grinch is doing his rounds and searching the skies for me.” And then he said “ So what we have to do is flank left and make sure we don’t pass the mouth of the cave and land on top.”
PH nodded like he understood but truthfully, he didn’t the least bit. All he knew was that they were going to the left.
The peak of the mountain was slippery and rough. So it was a tough landing for the reindeer. Once they got off the sleigh the followed Santa’s plan. They tried to be as quiet as possible and not disturb the evil wizard.
Once they finally reached the cave entrance and the walked inside, they found they weirdest stuff ever. They found maps of Santa’s Christmas route, machines that looked diabolical, plans hanging out of file cabinets, and right before it was to late, tripwire sensors.
A scary voice said “Well, well, well what have we here?” Something inside PH’s head told him that this was Mr. M and that stuff was going down.
First PH threw a piece of flaming garbage, but with super speed the Grinch deflected it. The Grinch used his ugly power and flash his teeth at PH but then again he was so ugly that it didn’t matter. As the Grinch and PH battled it out mercilessly. They left Santa and Mr. M to fend fro themselves.
Mr. M looked deviously at Santa and knew exactly what he would do. He put his fingers to his temple and shot out an energy wave that took over Santa’s mind. PH was now out numbered and over powered. He knew that this was the exact moment that he became not just a hero but a superhero. He pulled through against all odds and prevailed over Mr. M, The Grinch, and a brainwashed Santa.
Once everything was back to normal and Christmas was saved him and Santa had some good times. Over the years PH gained publicity and is now a children’s book author. He now lives in Texas with his wife and two kids. Santa still lives in the North Pole and makes toys for all the good little girls and boys on Christmas. As for the Grinch, he became a movie actor after being let out of jail. He starred in the movie “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and is in Dr. Seuss book version. Mr. M was never seen again; most say he slipped away and is hiding among us. All we know for sure is that he’ll think twice before trying to steal Christmas again.
Power Hobo, an author? My, my. Your word choice in this piece is very strong, which sets the semi-serious tone of the piece. You've tied everything together well at the end. Also, did you realize that, according to the modes of literature, you have written a romance? :)
