The Birth of Seren Dipity. Content Warning.
As any comic book aficionado knows, every superhero origin story requires three key elements. The first is trauma. Sarah Divine had thought long and hard about how she wanted to end her life. It was a choice between a razor and pills. She wasn’t sure she would be successful with the former, but with her access to medicine at the hospital, she was confident that a cocktail of chemicals would do the job.

Wobble Bobble
My Grandma driving was all knuckle and bobble hat. Her car smelt like a washed ashtray. It was also possessed by the soul of a departed madman who had a penchant for switching on her turn signal. She assumed other motorists very polite as they passed waving their hands out of rolled-down windows. A ride with Grandma had the potential to fright or delight in equal measure.
