I am trapped in a TV superhero show. Every day is an episode where my solar arch-enemy, blazing with the fury of the desert sun, returns to menace me. Deprived of my powers through some artificially induced plot point (like sobriety), threatened variously with incineration, desiccation, liquification, or photonic ablation, I struggle through the episode until at day's end, against all odds, a beer is obtained, my strength restored, and my solar nemesis retires in defeat, but will return.
