Superman's Cape

by Brian Spangler

  Life for Jacob Hanson changed that day he found out the tumor in his brain was a God Marker. The true intentions were revealed to him. He was a Guardian Angel and he was only beginning to understand what that meant. The place that he always saw as a gift, in fact for him, turned out to be a curse. Sure, it had its benefits, and he could still see the weather approaching without the use of technology. He still knew what Jill wanted him to say or wanted him to do next. And he always knew which games to call when in the betting pool at the office. But with the benefits came the knowledge that at any time, regardless of where he was in life, he could be called upon to right some wrong in the world.

  He knew it was not a matter of if – No, Jacob Hanson knew it was only a matter of when.
