Prompts = Optics, Rapscallion, Confirm

‘You rapscallions! Get off my lawn!’ Old Man Sherman’s body vibrated in frustrated anger as three teenagers ran off, laughing at having TP’d his large maple. He watched them go before striding back to his shortwave radio.

‘Tank is back.’

A female voice purred, ‘You sound frustrated, darling.’

‘The facade of infirmity is getting to me.’

‘Optics are everything.’

He growled. ‘This isn’t what I thought retirement would look like.’

‘Isn’t there a space for you in the Superhero Retirement Home?’

‘They keep saying something about Covid and being unable to confirm my service.’

‘Oh, darling. I’m… be right back…’
