Nobody's Hero - Leslie, Mark

. .

Résumé :
Some are born to save the world. Most of us just dream about it. But what makes a hero? Is a hero someone who puts on a mask and costume and rushes to the rescue? Is a hero someone who lands a crippled airplane? Is a hero someone who finds a cure to a wasting disease? Is a hero someone who uses their supernatural powers to help others? Is a hero someone who loves another person so much they put their needs ahead of their own? Is a hero someone who stops in the hustle and bustle of life just to listen to those who no longer have a voice? Heroes comes in all shapes, sizes, and personas. And, if they survive long enough, they might even reach a point where the desire to be a hero never dies, but the body is no longer able to perform those heroic feats. Such is the case in the lead story: Some Are Born to Save the World which was inspired by the RUSH song Losing It. This collection includes seven stories that explore heroes and heroic activities. Some Are Born to Save the World Collateral Damage The Zombie Whisperer This Time Around A Murder of Scarecrows Memento Mori From Out of the Night If you like stories reminiscent of The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits or Black Mirror, then you'll love this hero themed collection of short tales from Mark Leslie.
