Summary
When Lin Ling was five years old, he told his grandmother he wanted to be a hero.
Oh, like a police officer? she asked, smoothing down the cowlicks at the back of his head.
No-no-no. Lin Ling jabbed his chubby toddler finger at the comic book spread out in front of him. He did it aggressively. To make a point. Because even at that age Lin Ling hated being misunderstood. Jab. Jab. Jab. Pointer finger hitting dead center on the page, blotting out the white-cloaked man shining brilliantly among a rising tide of shadows. Like this. Like him! A real hero!
It seemed so obvious to him back then. Heroes were good—full stop. They saved people; they stood up for the weak. They helped whoever and wherever they could. Everyone should’ve strived to be a hero, because really, what else could you possibly want to do with your life?
Now, at twenty-one, knee-deep in a heap of scrap metal, Lin Ling wipes a grease-stained hand over his forehead and thinks he should’ve applied for the police academy after all.
