No confidence in my abilities, thought I would preview my entry as
sort of an “out of town” tryout. Feel free to help me iron out the kinks.
A long time ago in a park in New York City, there lived a peaceful, law-abiding family.
Although they did not have much in the way of material goods, they loved one another and had enormous community pride.
Generations of this family had lived in fellowship with their neighbors.
Then one foreboding day, darkness spread over the land.
Evil, corrupt politicians wanted to take the family’s home away.
Their neighbors hearing the news, began to flee.
The family, which by that time consisted of Mother, Father, Sister, and The Chosen, believing in the goodness of everyone, stayed on.
One early morning, the familly was awakened by tremendous shakings of the ground.
Their beds, floors and meager belongings rattled furiously in the predawn hours.
Fearful, the familly except for The Chosen, stepped outside their home to see what the problem was.
The Chosen, the youngest,was left to to stand guard, ignorant of what was to come.
Within seconds, huge earth moving machines had laid waste to the homes of all the family’s neighbors.
Unable to communicate with the barbarians and their machines,The Chosen one’s family was laid waste from the carnage and brutality of the huge earth moving machines.
But in those early morning hours, fate raised a helping hand to The Chosen.
One of the drivers of the terrible earth moving machines, pausing from his vicious attack accidentally dropped a chemical from his clothing.
It was a substance unknown to The Chosen or his group.
Full of sorrow, regret and feeling a little hungry, The Chosen gambled all and consumed the foreign substance.
Within seconds, a feeling of manic elation followed and a new sense of purpose filled The Chosen’s Life.
He would exact revenge on every living breathing soul in the city.
And what is more, he would seek more of the chemical.
