IT was perfect.
      The color scheme was exactly as
      he imagined it. soft warm yellows
      and aquas, velvety crimsons. Each
      dot looked just like the dusty aging
      comics that lined the walls &
      shelves of his bedroom
                        High on particles of KRYLON + RUSTOLEUM
                        drifting through his sinuses and
                        staining his fingernails, he let out
                        a bonechilling victory howl into
                        the night
            THE PULPKID HAS RISEN!!
BEFORE HE KNEW IT HE HEARD
THE ANGRY SCREECH OF SIRENS,
THE PULSING RED & BLUE
LIGHTS SENDING ULTRAVIOLET
SPLINTERS INTO THE ALLEYWAY

      they'll never catch me he said
      and the sweet blue-black arms of night
      embraced him, and he
                              vanished
