From Australia? That was halfway around the world!
“Really?” my mom said.
“Cool!” my dad said.
Mr. Green flexed an arm. “Here’s to truth!”
We all put our arms up and pumped. “And justice!”
I went to bed that night feeling great. The Shredderman site counter was up to ten thousand! Ten thousand visitors! Sure, all I’d really done with the site was collar a bully and trap a tagger, but inside it felt… bigger than that. Inside it felt like there was still more to do.
Maybe the way I was searching for truth and justice had started out small, but I could feel it growing. Spreading. From my little bedroom, through my school, and now my town!
So maybe I can’t fly through the air like Superman, but my ideas can fly across a web bigger than anything even Spider-Man could make—the World Wide Web!
So whatever’s next, in the name of truth and justice, I’ll be there!
