Little Peter is the superhero vigilante of Port Huron. His brother, Jonah, is his cameraman and sidekick. These are their adventures.
By Sonny Long
"Where would be a good place to start?" Jonah asked Little Peter as they walked down the heavily-populated street. No one seemed to recognize them as they went. That's what Little Peter was hoping for. Anonymity was key.
"Up there. Is that... It is!" Little Peter screeched. He pointed ahead but Jonah swatted his hand back down, informing him of how impolite it is to point.
Jonah looked ahead and noticed what Little Peter was losing it over. It was Extra Large Rhonda walking nonchalantly with her mother, not seeming to notice Little Peter.
"In my turf!?" Little Peter screamed. He grabbed a light post and began shaking it violently, his head hitting it with every pull. "Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!"
"Stop," Jonah instructed almost fully uninterested.
"Hold me back!" Little Peter assumed a running stance, attempting to convince Jonah he was serious about a looming fight with Extra Large Rhonda. Jonah refused to take the bait and allowed Little Peter to continue his false stance. "Any second now I will be taking off! You do not want to let this happen!!!"
Jonah continued walking and breezed by Little Peter, who was still pretending to follow through with his vague threats of assault. Little Peter acknowledged that Jonah had passed him so he gave up his ploy for attention and ran to catch up to Jonah.
Little Peter began panting upon catching up to his brother's side. Jonah tousled his hair, which seemed to calm him down enough to where he stopped with the heavy breathing.
Little Peter and Jonah continued walking until they were adjacent to Extra Large Rhonda, who had her back turned and was minding her own business. Little Peter, when he was in place, began making guttural noises and lunged onto Extra Large Rhonda's back. She shook and started screaming, scared for her life. Jonah, upon realizing what was happening, tried to get ahold of Little Peter to get him off of Extra Large Rhonda. They were now all flinging about, no one sure of where they were going or which direction they were even facing.
After a short struggle, the three of them burst into a building, the door gave way and our three heroes fell down a flight of stairs. The trio got up and realized it was nearly pitch-black. Looking back to the way they fell, they noticed there were no stairs, despite being sure of hitting some on their way down. There was no going back the way they came. Only one way to go: forward. They were unsure of where to step,the path ahead being too dark to fully see.
They continued moving until they saw a light coming from around the corner. As they neared it, they could hear the sounds of cheering, clapping, and screaming.
"What do you think that sound is?" Extra Large Rhonda asked, becoming nervous.
Little Peter and Jonah were quiet upon the approach. They continued around the corner and peered through. On the other side was a small group of people gathered around a cage with two shirtless men in it.
Suddenly, the trio felt a presence from behind them. They turned around to face it and realized it was a man who was towering over them.
