Is It Her He’s Looking For?
*Today's Chapter takes place after "A Game Changing Date" ( https://theprose.com/post/413360/a-game-changing-date )*
Petunia ran through the abandoned mall, screaming for help. She had been on a date with a rich man that had promised to buy her whatever she wanted, but instead she was tormented by an evil superpower. A hero was handling the villain that had played her, but she was still terrified that her horrible date would give chase. Frantically looking for an exit, she nearly bumped into a handsome young man that was wearing a white suit and lab coat.
"Are you ok ma'am?" The young man asked with concern.
"NO, THERE IS AN EVIL MAN OUT TO GET ME!" Petunia screamed. "PLEASE HELP ME!"
"Ok." The young man said calmly, holding the trembling Petunia in his arms. "Nice red dress, you look stunning in it. Were you on a date?"
"Yes." Petunia said, no longer screaming but still very shaken up. "He was not what he said he would be. He was supposed to dote over me, but he turned me into a worm and made fun of me!"
"Oh my, that's terrible!" The young man replied. "It is a good thing we crossed paths then. I am a doctor, and I have been working on something that makes people stronger. If you would be willing to be part of my very popular clinical trial, I could not only give you the power to defend yourself from that monster, but I could pay you a large sum of money for your help too."
"Money... and power?" Petunia asked, no longer fearful, but now very excited. "Yes, please! When can we start?"
"Right now." The young man replied, taking Petunia by the hand and leading the way. "Coincidentally, my office is in this mall. Congratulations my dear, you will soon be very strong, and rich too!"
