Anyway, you're a hero with a tragic story.

Or at least that's what we're all supposed to believe.

You.

You're the hero.

It's all about you and you are the one who makes it all happen.

Never mind that there are all those "little people" all around you making the magic on your behalf. Never mind that we're all around you fluffing it all up so you look so much better than you really are.

Oh. Wait. Tragic story.

Here's where it begins.

A man, simple, somewhat pure in sensibility, slightly dull, exactly ordinary becomes a hero.

But only because of the tragic.

Without the back story, the flash back, he would seem to be nothing. Just like the rest of us.

But.

He was not. Not exactly like us. When the tragic thing came to pass in his life he rose to meet it in a way that birthed a hero like no other known in our modern day.

His life was utterly demolished by a twisted vicious woman.

She seemingly came out of no where, but that wasn't the case at all. There was a history there.

Decades ago they were friends.
