The Introductions

My name is Samantha. Roger is my friend. These are our stories. Well, actually they're more Roger's stories.

Roger is a super hero. When he touches water, Roger grows to colossal heights. When this happens he likes to be addressed as Leviathan. Not the most original, I know. But it makes him happy.

The thing is you see, it's all in his head. Roger doesn't really grow. There's no possession of magical super powers. He just thinks there is. No, he's not crazy, at least not in any other areas of his life. He doesn't go around telling people (has to protect his secret identity) and he doesn't hear voices or think he's Napoleon. There are no anti-psychotics prescribed in his name. He just thinks he grows when he touches water. I chalk it up to reading too many comics when he was younger.

Most of the time, Roger leads a normal life. Some might even say he's successful. He's on staff for a state representative. He glad hands, schmoozes, takes people out to business lunches, and runs embarrassing errands. He is intelligent, good looking in a boyishly handsome way, and has a smile that charms most. He's been engaged, but never married. He has lots of friends that he considers himself close with, but only one that he has confided his secret to. Me.

Me, I'm just a friend of his. We met in college when we both worked at a restaurant. We dated for a minute, but work better as friends. I don't know why it was me that he chose to share with, but he did. It was cute the first time he "grew" for me, but I quickly realized that he wasn't the most stable person when he was in that state. So I became his protector. Roger liked that. He thinks I'm his side-kick. He calls me Mini-Might, because I'm "small but feisty". I do what I can to keep him out of trouble, but I'm not always successful.

These are our adventures.
