Belly Pains

Not So Super #2:In the comic’s latest micro-chapter,A mysterious stomach pain plagues Daniel


What’s this I’m feeling? The web never mentioned this odd sensation of “cold heat” coursing through my body. What did I just eat?

I run to the mirror to see what’s wrong; my face looks flushed. I look a mess. Due to my job’s increasing demands, I have eaten out every night for the past few years. I guess today I’m paying the price for not caring about my body.

I need to get some shut eye soon if I want to make it to work on time. I lie in the bed tossing and turning, thinking of my long-neglected to do list. Dry cleaning needs to be picked up, got to get some Spazzler(R) Energy Drinks and, most importantly, I have that awesome meeting in a few hours. OUCH!… am I having a baby in there? I could have sworn I felt a kick.
