The Superhero Diaries 1.3: Invisible Patchwork


Invisible Charlie has the ability to โ€˜blend into the backgroundโ€™ if he needs to. He has control over some materials around him, but not every one.

Recently, he noticed a small hole in his trouser leg, and visited various tailors to see if they could help with the repair. He received only one reply by letter.

Dear Mr Invisible Charlie,

Thank you for your recent, rather unusual enquiry.

I am sorry to inform you that we have been unable to find an exact match to the material used in your trousers.

We have obtained something quite similar in colour, but unfortunately without the invisible blending ability of your garment.

We will, of course be able to repair the damage to the trousers invisibly, but when you use your abilities the patch will remain visible.

We sincerely apologise for being unable to fulfil your request at this time.

Please accept, as a token of goodwill, our offer of free dry-cleaning for any one garment when you bring three others for our Premium Dry-Cleaning Service (available Monday โ€“ Friday 8am until 12noon, ready in 48 hours.)

We appreciate your custom, and hope to be of better service for you again in the future.

Yours Sincerely,

C.T.Hemingway and Sons

      I couldn’t resist adding that line, Andra, but it was an afterthought!

    Ah yes…I can imagine the fun of seeing a visible patch strolling down the street apparently detached from anything else! What fun!

      Especially on a still day, Icewolf. It would look a bit odd though, a disembodied patch!

    Aah! The problems that Super Heroes don’t mention!!! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I have an image of Invisible girl from the Fantastic Four having a similar problem!

    Comforting to know that even super heroes suffer mundane problems that are beyond repair. Sounds like it’s time that Invisible Charlie invests in new trousers.

      It wasn’t about an emperor now, was it, Sue? If so, it may have been a story I was told once or twice…

    Oo tailors with a dry cleaning service. How industrious! It *would* be fun to see a lone patch bobbing about on the street, except on Halloween of course!

      I think it would be all the more fun to see a ghostly patch on Halloween, Shree!
