A bolt of lightning flashed across the black night sky, the brilliant white light briefly illuminating Peter Parker's bedroom. He laid there asleep on his twin bed, crammed against the wall of his cramped studio apartment amid piles of dirty clothes and empty Chinese food containers. The roaring rain pounded steadily against the window, covering up the sli...

I was working as a bouncer at the bar where my mate, Cindy, was working. But I had really been hired by her boss to look out for her, because she was a shape shifter like me.
