The Dark Crusaders
by Randy Van Dyke

“In the Wake of the Slipstream” is a humorous, fast-paced story about a group of ordinary, wisecracking, trash-talking teens that, through bizarre circumstances are photographed foiling a robbery in a convenience store on Halloween night.  Their identities are protected by the costumes they are wearing.  However, these costumes give them the appearance of Super-heroes.  These images find their way into the hands of the Media, and an absolute frenzy ensues.  The teens are forced to take on the role of a crime-fighting group known as the "Dark Crusaders,” all the while trying to maintain a normal teenage life.
