With great glasses comes... great responsibility. And no one knows that better than Marcus, the black sheep of his family and the laughing stock of an entire criminal organization known as AoE. His first day in junior high is coming soon and he is determined not to give up his glasses. This is what happens when supers don't wear masks and reveal how they're just like all of us-striving to be normal in a world that doesn't welcome being the odd one out. The Loser: short-story based on a prompt for The Loser Writing Competition (Set while Marcus is in middle school, not yet a villain) Story featuring the main antagonist of WGM and protagonist of Imposter: Book 2 of GEAR Universe, set before WGM.
