Dear Wiz,

I've got some good news and some bad news.

Good news first!

I've figured it out today!

I can't believe I was so stupid! I really need to learn how to have critical and logical thinking skills.

And patience.

But anyway, guess what!

I read the book! I know what is says!

It was all about the legend of my super powers and what they do and how to channel them! Apparently my magical juices come from Zeus and Mercury and what not. How cool!

I'll give you the run down of the past few weeks to explain.

So when I couldn't read the book last time I got really frustrated. So I walked home from the library and went into the alley way that leads to the lair and hid the book. I went back out, made sure no one was looking and then WOOPIDOO! BLAM!

I turned into Captain Marvel.

And so I went out and stopped some bank robbers. It was a good stress reliever. The press was going nuts. And I mean the bad kind of nuts like when you get the spoiled ones.

Here comes the bad news.

But as I was saying, the press was yelling at me and bombarding me with questions. There was this really awkward guy named Clark or Kent or some weird name and he kept asking why I wasn't stopping the Fawcett City serial killer!

It was crazy!

I told him I didn't have a clue as to what he was talking about and then another lady asked me what I was doing at night.

But then it turned into chaos because somebody asked me a question about an eye witness account that saw a costume like mine fleeing one of the crime scenes. I denied it because I think I would know if I killed a guy.

At least, I would I hope I would. But questions from everyone started to yell and all of a sudden I was called a murderer.

So I ran.

But they followed me.

It was a mob chase.

It was a good thing they only had cameras and not pitchforks.

I finally lost them, thank the god of nuttiness, but I couldn't change back incase I didn't lose anyone. So I took the back alleys to the lair and just hid there for a long time.

But I got bored so I found the book again and I could read it! I figured out that I have to be in "Shazam Mode" to read it.

But I'm home again and finally normal.

Well, almost normal.

I have a killer to catch.

Wish me luck Wiz.
