On Halloween night in 2020, I came home from work in a terrible mood. I’d had a bad day, and was thinking, “F-everybody.” My wife’s sister was hosting a party that night and I had two costume options – Jesus, or Homelander, the psychopathic superhero from Amazon Prime series The Boys. Because of my state of mind, I went with Homelander. I’d already bought the costume, complete with its stars and stripes cape.
We live in Greenville, Ohio and the party was a short drive across town. My wife, Chelsey, was behind the wheel, dressed as Starlight, another superhero from The Boys, and my kids were in the back of the car in their Iron Man and dragon outfits. Chelsey took a turn down a road as we neared her sister’s house and that’s when I saw flames shooting out of another house.
