My Short Stories

Spider-Man Wannabe

Stuart loved comic books, especially the spiderman ones. He reads the comics everyday, he knew all the words off by heart. Every time a new comic came out, he would go straight to the comic store and buy the first one. He would read the same comic for hours. But one day, he had the best idea. He wanted to be spiderman.

Stuart went out of his room for the first time in weeks to go to a fabric store to make a spiderman outfit and buy a sewing machine. He bought red, blue, white and black fabric, and also thread of the same colors.

After he bought what he needed, he went straight home and started sewing pieces together, he knew how to sew after doing textiles in school.

After a few days, Stuart had completed his spiderman outfit, it did have a few changes to the original design, but he just wanted to be unique. He liked the idea of being his own spiderman.

Stuart started thinking about how he was going to become spiderman. Peter Parker got his powers from an irradiated spider. Where was he going to find an irradiated spider? He would have to get phosphorus 32.

5 days later, Stuart had created a fake ID and a file to go with it, and he drive to "Radioactive lab for colleges". When he knocked on the door, a man in a lab coat and a white beard came to the door. "Hello........Professor Stuart Little," he said looking at Stuart's ID. "What can I do for you?"

"I need some phosphorus 32 please." The man looked at Stuart with a weird expression on his face. "Why do you need phosphorus 32?" The man asked. "I need it to show some of my students how it works," Stuart said confidently. The man said "hmm.....okay I will. Just let me do something first." The man ran off to do whatever he needed to do.

5 minutes later, he came back with a vile with brown powder in it. "Here you go, enjoy." Stuart walked away with the vile in his hand and a big smile on his face, he thinking about how easy it was to get it.

When Stuart got home, he started to look around for a spider in his room, when he couldn't find any he went outside and saw a black widow. Stuart went inside and found a jar to put the spider in.

Once he nearly got bitten, and he caught the thing, he took it inside. He poked a few holes in the lid of the jar and found a funnel. He put the funnel over one of the holes and poured some of the phosphorus 32 in there. Stuart went to bed and left the black widow and phosphorus 32 to do their work.

When he woke up, he looked at the spider, it had purple marks on it like the spider in the original spiderman movie. Stuart was so happy he jumped on his bed, which he swore he would never do.

He put on his spiderman outfit, picked up the jar and walked to a tall building and climbed all the stairs to the roof. While he walked, people walked past him giving him weird looks. But he didn't care, he was going to be spiderman.

When he got to the roof, he opened the jar and let the spider crawl on his hand. It bit him, his whole body filled with immense pain, but he just thought that Peter Parker went through the same thing. He started to walking to the edge of the roof, the pain getting worse. When he got to the edge, something made him freeze and fall forward;which ended with him falling off the 23 stores building.
