But in a wretched twist of events, he finds himself forced to reclaim what he once was in order to save those who are most precious to him. Or else… The Null is a short superhero thriller that would cover approximately 20-25 pages in a traditional paperback. It originally appeared in The Telepath Chronicles, an excellent collection of similar length stories by various authors.
