Cool moment. I especially like the shattering of his little ’I’m a god’ moment by the intrusion of the “post humans” (cool name for it, by the way) and the utter futility that follows, just having to ask for clean up crews. Really nice piece from the perspective of a normal guy in the face of super-powered peoples.
Haha THX I was thinking the same way after finishing this story. A great description of the insignifance of his presence bringing him down to earth. I can almost hear his disheartened tone when he delivers the last line.
I think that I would have liked it better without the sci-fi twist. The description of his self-absorption is so good and the “post humans” line took me out of it.
