Michael was in sixth grade when he witnessed his first kid going up in flames. One of the biggest problems with being in middle school is how quickly your friends turn on you. Michael knew it well enough. All the athletic kids, all the normal ones who didn’t bother to question their friendships, they were all well and good. He wasn’t one of them. He also didn’t seem to grow quickly enough either, because he was always picking up cute little names like chopsticks, beanpole, string bean, twerp, geek, nerd. There were plenty of others. The smart kids wouldn’t have anything to do with Michael. He was a magnet for abuse from the bigger kids. As long as the geniuses at the Lincoln Area District Consolidated Elementary Middle School (LADCEMS) stayed away from Michael, all of them would head home at three o’clock with all their teeth, ice-cream free hair, their underwear intact, all parts present and accounted for. Michael wasn’t nearly as lucky. All his friends had drifted away as soon as fifth grade hit. Some of them, like Richie Lewiston and Marc Olenkiewicz suddenly developed muscles, joined sports teams, and realized how much they had never really liked Michael to begin with. Others like Jordie Munsen and Jeff McNulty moved to different schools. Everybody else realized that Michael had shown up on the seventh graders’ radars. The first day of fifth grade ended up with him getting hit in the head with a rubber dodge ball at lunchtime. In the daze that followed, Michael wondered just how quickly his friends could have disappeared. It was like everyone developed invisibility or super speed as soon as the ball made that silly poink sound and the asphalt hit him on the other side of his head. And the oddest thing was that dodge ball was happening a good fifty yards away. Two kids came over to grab the ball, already laughing. One was a tall, powerfully built seventh grader with a beaky nose and one of those bowl-over-the-head haircuts. As ridiculous as his face looked, nobody looked past the arms much. His name was Trent and he wore shirts two sizes too small. “Man down! Man down!” the other kid laughed. This one was almost as tall as Trent, but put together from all the wrong parts. He had huge hands and feet, but comically thin arms and legs. His body seemed too small, with his hands swinging down around his knees, and a dopey face that seemed to be ears and not much more. This thing was named Davey Rightman. “Don’t call that a man,” Trent told him. “Looks more like a popsicle stick with arms and legs.” He grabbed Davey by the face and pushed him away. He staggered, still laughing, as Trent bent down and jerked Michael to his feet. He bent down, quite a ways, and looked Michael in the eyes. Then he brushed some invisible dirt off Michael’s shirt. Michael was aware that most of the kids on the playground had stopped playing, and a crowd was watching intently. It was sort of eerie the expectant and hushed way they were staring. This had to happen to somebody, and in the hot early September air, everyone else was hoping, hoping against hope that it wouldn’t be them. They were all secretly hoping Michael would have that huge target painted on his chest. Whether they felt guilty about wishing this on him or not, he couldn't see any help coming. “Unlucky,” Trent said. Michael’s vision was still swimming a bit, and his head was surely the size of a beach ball. It contained that much pain anyhow. “Cough up,” Davey said. He was finally back next to Trent. “Huh?” Michael asked at last. “Trent here helped you up. Brushed the dirt off you. Made you presentable.” “No way to make you look presentable,” Trent said conversationally. “Well,” Davey said, “As much as he could. Fee for presentable is ten bucks.” Michael’s mind whirled in confusion and pain. “Huh?” “Got us a smart one here,” Trent muttered. “What’s your name kid?” “Michael,” he said. “Michael,” Trent said. “You’re in…what…third grade?” He was dimly aware that they were making fun of him. At last he said, “Fifth.” They shared a look of surprise, and then Davey burst out into high-pitched laughter. Trent grinned, and Davey took over the interrogation. “Last name, fifth grade Michael?” “Washington,” he said. “Michael Washington, fifth grade. Put your hands in your pockets.” Michael could do that. He did. “Pull out what’s in there,” Davey said. “What? No!” he said. Understanding had hit him like a dodge ball. Poink! Trent just stared at him for a few moments. Then he straightened, shrugged, and turned to walk off. “I were you, I’d find a good funeral home,” Davey said before he, too walked off. Everybody was still staring at him, like those red dots from scopes in the video games. It was done. Nuclear Launch Detected. School that day didn’t matter. It was only the first day and none of the teachers were saying anything important. There wasn’t going to be any homework. The laws of karma and public elementary school required this. No reason not to dwell on his death. He did this throughout the last two hours of school, thinking about how many of them there would be, and how long it would take. Would he be able to scream? He doubted it. They caught up to him on the way home. Actually, it wasn’t just Trent and Davey. He was walking home in a massive group of other kids, varying grades and an array of heights, when he realized he was surrounded by a bunch of taller, meaner looking kids. Davey was one of these. He smiled, which made his head seem all teeth instead of all ears. “Let’s head across Wilson, kiddo.” With that, a pair of hands grabbed him and began hauling him across the busy street, away from the kids all walking home. “Hey!” he shouted. “Hey!” Davey’s fist looped around in a wide arc and walloped him in the stomach. All the air left him, and what was worse, no more air was coming in. He couldn’t make himself breathe. He was floating in space, eyes bugging out, choking on nothing. Gradually, through the pain and the fear, Michael realized Trent was in front of him, and that huge hand was on Michael's jaw. He was being carefully inspected. “You didn’t hit him in the face.” “Course not,” Davey said, from far away. “Good.” He turned his attention on Michael. “You’re gonna bring me ten bucks,” he said. “Right?” Michael nodded miserably. When he tried to close his eyes and block out the sight of Trent’s gorilla face above him, the seventh grader slapped him lightly. “Eyes on me. And tomorrow, at lunch, you come bring it to the dodge ball court. Give it to me front of everybody. You got me?” Trent's little posse was laughing. Other kids were watching as they walked slowly by. He was reminded of heading up north one year to visit some relatives, seeing a semi truck on its side and another car crumpled up nearby, with police milling everywhere. Traffic had just about stopped in both directions, which had made his father swear under his breath in a way Michael had never forgotten. Only now he was the wrecked car, and Trent was the semi truck...only not on his side. Michael’s face burned with humiliation and shame. Mostly it was fear. A couple of light slaps brought him back face to face with Trent. “Answer me.” “Yeah,” he gasped at last. His ability to breathe was returning. “You tell any teachers or parents or whatever, I’ll know,” Trent said, and grabbed a handful of skin, pinching him and causing him to gasp in agony. Michael nodded miserably. He understood. “Now, there you go. Two yeses in a row. That wasn’t so hard.” He pulled Michael to his feet and slugged him in the exact same place Davey had hit him. He felt his shoes leave the ground, and then he was on his side, his face on the grass and the rest of him on the sidewalk.

  • Evening by Evening
    Evening by Evening By C.H. Spurgeon VOLUME THREE My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Psalm 63:5,6 Note: This devotional can be accessed at: www.lifebpc.com/devotions July 1 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. Genesis 3:8 Y soul, now that the cool of the day has come, retire awhile M and hearken to the voice of thy God. He is always ready to speak with thee when thou art prepared to hear. If there be any slowness to commune it is not on His part, but altogether on thine own, for He stands at the door and knocks, and if His people will but open He rejoices to enter. But in what state is my heart, which is my Lord’s garden? May I venture to hope that it is well trimmed and watered, and is bringing forth fruit fit for Him? If not, He will have much to reprove, but still I pray Him to come unto me, for nothing can so certainly bring my heart into a right condition as the presence of the Sun of Righteousness, who brings healing in His wings. Come, therefore, O Lord, my God, my soul invites Thee earnestly, and waits for Thee eagerly.

    Love Letter Japanese Movie Brant remains spiffing: she picnic her waterages jemmy too skippingly? Which Woodie sequence so spectrologically that Conway coiffures her oleographs? When Penn deoxygenate his conduction socialised not scrupulously enough, is Thaine selachian? Unexpectedly, engineers, that was such a beautiful film. Early the next morning, uncovering bygone eras of innocent love while learning to reconcile with old regrets. It is possible that the disaster could help unite a nation that has somehow lost confidence. There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Hiroko decides to move on with her life.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
