Sandman Saves The World
Good afternoon, fellow classmates. I'm Flint Marko, better known as Sandman, and I'm here in front of you today to try to explain to you that I'm not just a villain and that I'm an antihero. I want to prove the idea that the decision wasn’t up to me, and also explain and reveal the life of my character.
I didn't go out to hurt anyone or choose to become Sandman. Instead, I was thrown into a situation which I had absolute zero control over, and it put me in a difficult situation in which I had to learn how to control my newly discovered abilities. It was hard, difficult, and stressful. Considering that I had my hands full of many troubles.
My daughter, Keemia was sick with cancer, and I needed to be there for her desires and to provide company considering that her mother, my wife, Rose Walker, unfortunately passed. My life was completely different once I discovered my new abilities. Yes, I know I shouldn’t have used them the way I have by hurting others and destroying our home. I'm sorry, my intrusive thoughts took over considering that all that I cared about was to make sure my daughter was okay. Before my abilities, I was a nobody. Just a normal person trying to provide for my daughter, but no matter what I did, it wasn’t enough. When I discovered my abilities, I felt like I had everything, because I was able to take care of my daughter. I turned to a life of crime as a means of survival. It was finally enough.
I have tried to redeem myself to everyone by helping Spiderman defeat Venom and big Goblin. In the battle, I saved your hero, Spiderman. Without me, our home would've been destroyed. But no matter what I do, in everyone's eyes, I'm evil and deserve to die. Please understand that I'm trying to change for the better. Yes, I know the way I punished people was aggressive and revengeful. I promise that from now on I won't hurt anyone. I have officially made up my mind and I will, from now on, protect our city. Thank you. Sincerely, Flint Marko, better known as Sand Man.
