Men among demigods!

{Note, some time back, I speculated on the idea of a book written from the perspective of the "normal" people in the DCU. Well... lets play with that a bit. Any details he gets wrong is intentional. I'll post it along slowly. Hopefully someone out there will be amused eventually}

Men Among Demigods: by Albert McCalvay
Introduction:

There's simply no avoiding it. No matter where we go, no matter what we do, we're confronted with the fact that we walk amongst demigods. Strange visitors from long lost planets, shadowy figured lurking in the nights of Gotham, intersteller policemen with magic rings and many, many more.

Daily we go about our business, wondering if these demigods are going to intrude in our lives. We can't help but wonder if a psychotic clown will decide that today is meant to be our last day on earth.

We could move to some obscure corner of Oklahoma, but would that really solve the problem? After all, even if there wouldn't ever be a metahuman, costumed crimefighter or criminal within a hundred miles of us, that wouldn't change the fact that they walk in our worlds. It wouldn't change the doubts that assail us ever time we turn on the television.

What place do we have in a world of demigods? Is there any room left for humanity? Yes there is! That's what this book is all about, living a fulfilled life in this world. I'm including all the hints and tips I've used for years at the seminars I've held in motels, bowling allies and fine drinking establishments nation wide.
