The Inadequacy of Alice Anders: A Schildmaids Short Story

by Jonathan McKinney

Alice Anders can summon vision of the future, which guide her heroic friends through heroic acts. Sometimes she’ll see vulnerable people in danger; sometimes she’ll see her superhero friends in places where they can help those who can’t help themselves.

But, for the last three and a half weeks, she’s not been able to summon a single vision—and given that she started working for the superhero team of her dreams, the Schildmaids, exactly three and a half weeks ago, she’s becoming anxious about her worth. And to figure out why her power has gone away, she’ll have to push herself, and face some hard truths.

The Inadequacy of Alice Anders is a light and bittersweet short story about the pain of loss, and about facing that pain when it threatens to hold you down and hold you back.
