the flash. time is on his side. he could run to poughkeepsie, purchase a hammer from the home depot on north road, return and brain 'em both before they knew they were going to be in a fight with the flash. he could festoon logans's snikters with holly and harvest-time wreathes before they even started pokin' out.
does flash have any weaknesses?
now that i think of it, to be the flash must be a lot like the shitty side of being immortal, but wiithin a human lifetime. meaning that just as he's just a blur to regular folks, time moves painfully slowly for him. what if that pre-braining-trip-to-poughkeepsie-from-the-falklands-and-back-run seems as long to his sense of time as it would to ours if we were to actually run that far at human speeds? it's easy to overlook the endurance that all this running requires. and the patience. to even have a conversation with a normal person would be like saying a word, standing there for a month, saying andother word, etc. waiting six months while whomever you were speaking to considered your burger recommendation, and then spending another year or four listening to their word-a-month-small-talk.
