March 2019. Day 15

Early post today because I'll be busy baking later. *g*

Here is the place to tell us about your daily success (or the lack of it)!

May the magic be with us all!

I decided to grit my teeth and dust off one of my 'in-progress' Batman stories. I've gotten 15 pages in...

The roof was covered, but the gunman was busy concentrating on the policemen below, not watching his back against marauding bats. Stupid, really, but that was the criminal element for you. If they had any brains, they'd chose another profession.

Batman wrenched the man around and off his feet with one yank. This was his favorite parlor trick and it never failed to impress his quarry.

"Let me go," the man pleaded hoarsely, his hands tearing the black gauntlets.

"Is that really what you want?" Batman asked hoarsely, a smile tweaking the corners of his mouth. Never let it be said that the Batman was without a sense of humor. The man abruptly became aware of the fact that his toes were not only dangling inches from the roof surface, but that they were also suspended over the edge.

A spotlight suddenly caught them both in a shower of near-blinding white light, but the effect only further served to make the crimefighter look more opposing.

"Yes… No!" It suddenly sunk in that it might not be to his own benefit to be released.

Thanks! I've been trying to get these cleaned up for posting for a long time. This one is only 16,000 words...

Well, considering that most of them are already written and I'm just cleaning it up, it wasn't. At least the story held together.

I can't believe you have unfinished stories!

Is this a specific Batman, or your own version of the combined characters?

It's not unfinished as much as it's unpolished. There were several grammatical errors and some issues from bringing it from Word Perfect over to Word that I needed to clean up.

It's loosely based upon the Michael Keaton/Burton Batman, with nods to the comics.

That's what I was going for... thanks!
