Feelings
Who would have thought that blue spandex and a red cape could mean so much. Most people looked up to the alien who flew in to the rescue, aiding the emergency workers. He saw relief, joy, hope, even love, on their faces when he swooped in to do what he saw needed to be done. It felt good to be appreciated, even though those with baser motives frequently responded with fear, distaste, even hatred.
A Pandora’s Box of feelings. All for a refugee from another planet who wore blue tights, a red cape and a funny symbol on his chest.
