Comments on 'An Awesome Dream [LoA Challenge]'A sunny day, and the neighborhood hums. I'm standing in my yard, under the shade of the massive elm, just drinking in the perfection of the moment.
Fresh cut grass taints the air with the pleasant reminder that yes, this is summer, thanks to Mr. Gebnik mowing away, shirt off as usual. Mom always scoffs, says nobody wants to see his big hairy belly.
Ben, best friend extraordinaire is on the sidewalk, whistling the theme from Star Wars. He's probably making caterpillars fight again. Melinda is walking her dog, fourth time today, right past my house. She's such a prissy dork, and so is her sheep dog. Lisa and Kim should be here any minute, coming from the other side of our U-shaped street, our world as far as we're concerned.
The summer of 87 is going to be our best, our little band of dreamers. Shane, the terror of the block, moves away in a month. Carl and Jim will finally get to play outside. We'll all have some fun.
And me, I'm just a kid with a baseball and a dream.

To be honest, I’m not a big fan of it myself.</p>
<p>I started off writing something in Word which I was quite pleased with- but it was around 900 characters too long. I think the editing is what made the beginning awkward. Thanks again!</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/19156?basename=383802008-02-02T20:43:48ZMusic-Heartedhttp://ficlets.com/authors/musicxheartedComment on An Awesome Dream [LoA Challenge]<p>Excitement.

It brings back memories of childhood. I was a kid in 87! so this story is very relatable for me. I like how you illustrated the characters. Very real, you captured the innocence of youth.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/19156?basename=374982008-01-30T19:08:37ZApostrophe http://ficlets.com/authors/murphyrose27Comment on An Awesome Dream [LoA Challenge]<p> OMG !!

But my persona isn’t going to take writers block lying down. It’s strange, whenever I imagine the eighties everything is bright with a hint of orange. I might have brain damage.

I have to forget some of the things in my head at the moment before I can. <br />“Awesome-ble” is pretty rad, for someone not alive in ‘87. :) I guess “transform and roll out” is out of the question?</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/19156?basename=361602008-01-24T19:53:46ZEckhousehttp://ficlets.com/authors/eckhouseComment on An Awesome Dream [LoA Challenge]<p>Note: Too bad I wasn’t alive when this would’ve taken place!</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/19156?basename=361552008-01-24T19:37:18ZFyora Cartaganhttp://ficlets.com/authors/fyoramacraggeComment on An Awesome Dream [LoA Challenge]<p>I’m not in the League, but might I suggest “Awesome-ble” to be put in the rally cry somewhere?<br />I don’t know about anyone else, but that sounds like it would be hilarious to me. :D<br />I can’t wait to see where this goes, too.

No, no, that’s no good. To me my League! Nope, too Silver Surfer. Man, we really need a good rallying cry.</p>
<p>Well, here’s the challenge to the League of Awesomeness. Y’all just start sequels or prequels from here and let’s see where the story goes, and how awesome it gets.</p>
<p>And just for extra funsies, feel free to comment on your own with a potential rally cry for the league, since I can’t seem to come up with a good one.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/19156?basename=361432008-01-24T17:55:07ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477
