Tyler -- Are You Ready To Rummmbbllee?

Add to AIMShare

I breathed in sharply, the crisp air swirling around in my nostrils. I sighed a little with contentment, relishing the feeling of power over these oncoming attackers.

My hair stood on end as I called for time to slow down as a beam of deadly energy pulsed by. It rippled in the air, inches from my face. Max ran to the side of the gray pack.

A slight smile crossed me face as I tightened my fists. These guys didn’t know what was coming. Time….. I concentrated for it to halt in its tracks.

Um… I concentrated harder. Nothing happened. Suddenly, a woozy feeling overcame me. I looked down – and was greeted with the sight of a small metallic pin poking out of me, fired by a gun, held by the hands of a CPF soldier. Sh….

Whatever this did, it blocked coherent thought – and therefore the ability to slow time. Did they know what I could do? No…how could they? I barely even did.

I looked over at Max. He was sinking to his knees, as I was. Another dart.

Sh..crap…

Dark.

Here I thought we were going to get a bloodbath of a demonstration, and you go and twist it. I hate it when the bad guys have good intelligence sources.

Want to start a series with me? Note me and let’s do it! (I’m sorta forgetful about sequeling, though, so you might have to remind me once in a while). =)

Never ever ever ever ever EVER EVER be afraid to sequel my junk.

Many of these series have not been finished, whether I forgot about them or just got bored of them. Some of them are only a few ficlets long. Feel free to extend them, and note me about it if you want to; I’d love to read them!

It’s a word definition game—for every word you correctly define, the organizations behind it send 10 grains of rice for world hunger. I would think the people here at ficlets could do this just fine.
