I'm a superhero who burns people with cigarette butts. I only burn people who are already having a bad day so they can blame me for it, that's why I'm a hero. When I am done burning people I sit down and I cross my legs and I wink, sometimes I eat a cookie. When I stay home the world gets cranky. I have a nemesis. His name is Hank. Read all about me! Cigarette Burn Girl!

CBG works in mysterious ways

His fingernails were peeling off like he was made of clay. The river had white peaks; the red swan was perched on a can of Coke. His tall friend was dreaming of unrest beside him.  It had been a perfect picnic, but the fireworks were too close and fell on them, leaving smoldering marks on their skin.

The man's face was coming apart like an artichoke hart. The river was dark like a mood ring; The tall boy looked up. "It's just what we needed," he said, blowing softly on the holes in his skin, which were still smoking. "CBG, you and me, forever....."

More About Mr. Flup

It is always awkward running into Mr. Flup at the liquor store. Without Hank, he doesn't pretend like he can beat me. I realized as soon as I saw Mr. Flup that he was wearing a new tie. He must have been uninvited to a party. He coughed at me but it was only because he had a nasal drip. Then he winced because he just recently had a root canal. I know because we go to the same dentist.

Dear Cigarette Burn Girl,
Johnny made fun of my bad dandruff today. I think I like him. Please help me.
Yours truly,
Stephanie
