Even superheroes need to pay the bills, so my mild-mannered persona, Steve, works the phones with BYU's customer service every morning. The only superpower I allow myself to manifest here are my linguistic talents, and these are only revealed under the direst circumstances (E.G. when we get a caller who speaks Spanish.) Today, work is slow, so I have time to blog, study Elvish, whatever I feel like doing . . . which eventually gets a bit boring. So I take my ten minute break and, in the elevator (there aren't many phone booths these days) become Sapphire Sting, Defender of the fenderless! Alas, 10 minutes doesn't allow much time, and my quick flight around the perimiter revealed nothing that the local officers can't handle. I didn't even find a cat in a tree. Sometimes, even being a superhero is boring.
