Hero Song

A lonely office worker in a high-rise sings through a long night, pouring his feelings into an anthem about courage while he wanders the city streets, past a man on a curb and a dumpster, and daydreams of himself as a caped crime fighter standing on a rooftop. The fantasy collides with the street when he steps in, in full costume, to stop a hooded attacker from bothering a woman. The attacker lays into him with kicks and punches while she looks on in alarm, and the short ends with the would-be hero left in a heap on the sidewalk as the mugger walks off.
