“You owe a hundred thousand to a band of rich comedians who torture people with puns. We’re past crazy.”

Chapter 1 — Ex-Con

A Humorous Superhero Heist Novella

The Illruso Heist

One superpowered crew.
One deadly heist.
What’s the worst that could happen?

Charles Davis: a young ex-con comedian with the power to make anyone laugh. A vicious comedian mob paid to get him out of jail in order to use his talents, but they want their money back and they’re happy to kidnap his sister as insurance.

Luckily, the Illruso Museum of Art’s vault holds a priceless shard of the comet that brought superpowers to Earth. For such an impossible heist, Charles will need an actual plan — and he can’t pull it off alone.

An arrogant, professional thief who’d rather work alone.

An alleyway junkie reluctant to use his super-speed.

Can they infiltrate the Illruso Museum’s impenetrable security and escape with their lives, or will Charles lose his sister to the Comedian Mafia forever?
