The Maxx

Sara:
I was sitting under the Jones Street underpass yesterday. That's because I want to be a writer and writers gotta have experiences, like underpasses. There was an old bum there too. "Hi", I said, "My name's Sara". At first, he didn't say anything, but then he said his name was Maxx. Turned out, he was a superhero fighting this villain called Mr. Gone, but he was also this jungle guy fighting saber-tooth tigers and stuff in Australia. I didn't have to make any of that stuff up, even though I am going to be a writer. I especially like the part about Gone's little cow bathroom. You say this guy was seriously nuts? Well, duh! And then, right out of the blue, he said he knew my father.
