The boy had it all worked out...okay most of it...his ionic fusion core springs would launch him far enough, so that he could get in range of the meteor without having the heat fry to a molten crisp. "Wouldn't want to do anything dangerous", the boy chuckles under his breath. He looks skyward, toward the meteor barreling toward the city and back down to his glove. He ask,"can I really do this?" The boy KNEW he could do this. He'd get in close enough, activate the repulsion field generator, focus it through his glove, stop the meteor in it's tracks and be known as the hero who saved the planet with nothing but his sneakers and a baseball glove. That was IF the opposite force produced by the repulsion of the meteor didn't rip his arm off....or his shred entire body to bite-sized chunks that would rain down all over the city... "Newton's third law, thou art a spiteful vixen..." And if he wasn't torn apart, what would happen when gravity kicked in and he started falling back to Earth, propelled the repulsion field? "But you Gravity? Gravity, thou art simply a hateful bitch," the boy yelled regretting ever coming up with this plan. "But no one else has any bright ideas...no going back now.." He took one final look up, charged his his ionic springs, and jumped. As he rocket toward the meteor, on thought managed to writhe and wiggle it's way through. more of a memory then a thought. It was the boy training for his teams next baseball season. He was an all-star! Could slug a bat so hard, he'd nearly vaporize the ball. He could run the bases in a few seconds, and slide his way home. Had an outrageous throwing arm and made a killer pitcher. But there was one thing he never truly got down, one thing that nagged him through his teams whole season...catching. As he activated the repulsion generator, in front of this massive fireball of death, he muttered the same words his coach muttered to him on the end of their first game. "Kid, you can't catch a ball to save your life..."

Your welcome! And thank you for inspiration.I'm just a guy who reads alot. Lately, I've been thinking of taking a few writing classes and maybe paying more attention in my literary and composition classes. Usually, I see a picture, an object (mangled tin can, sneakers lying around), or simply hear a strange name or interesting word and entire stories, miniature universes and alternate realities, begin to form in my head...yup...that's how I role

ah done! your welcome! and thank you for helping to make that blog a little more awesome.
wont have acces to a decent pc for few month's that can run my old trusted photoshop etc.
so obviously that is a great chance to learn new stuff and thus i bought myself a few extra sketchingbooks, some pens and markers. so im asking you if you've got any tips for me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh man, i feel your pain
my biggest tips are always just have a little sketchbook on you all the time so you can thumbnail the shit out of it. that coupled with marker paper and the finest goddamn fibretip pen you can find... and the world is your clam chowder.
hope that helps!

Dude... I wonder how you come up with these, real-life urban stories with such awesome sci-fi twists!
And the art for them is just breath-taking. I'm already intrigued, please publish this somehow.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thank you, very kind words
its kinda how i wish my life is i guess. but i wish so hard sometimes that i kinda think these things are really close to actually happening... and then i think about what i'd do if they did. and then they feel even more real.
it will be published in my book, which im REALLY hoping i get published this year, when its done.
