“AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD

From: A Friend

Hello. I may not know you, but you know me. I am the one who defeated MechaMewtwo. I am the one who stopped Team Rocket. I am the one who stopped Giovanni. I am the one who saved the world from enslavement. I am Superman.

I must thank you all for what you have done for me. I am glad you have appreciated my services so much. I have helped you before. And although my career so far has been short, I have already accomplished something most heroes spend their whole lives trying to accomplish. Even though prior to that, all I did was save a few people from certain death. Although that itself isn't too bad.

But what is the purpose for writing this, you might ask? Well, I'll tell you. But first, I must say one thing:

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You gave me the strength I needed to defeat MechaMewtwo and save the world. You gave me the strength to defeat my enemies. You are as much a part in this as I am.

But now I must deliver words that no doubt you will not like: I must go now. I am retiring for now. Why, you might ask? The reason is simple: I am merely a, as some of you call it, a 'rookie' superhero. This battle against Team Rocket was my first. And now, I must retire for now to hone my skills.

But I am not leaving you forever. No, I will return someday. I promise. And when that happens, you will no longer have to live in fear of the dark. I will return. Someday.

Sincerely, Superman.”

In a dark office, a dark figure put down an old, worn-out newspaper. It was obviously several years old. “It's been years, Superman,” the figure said in a sinister voice. “But my party's just beginning, Hahahahahahahahahahaha AH, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”
