Richard Spalding was awaken by the sound of his alarm clock, as usual. Ready for another day of the same old boring grind he walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen, begun to grab out the cereal and milk and sat down and prepared for another boring day of work. As Richard was chewing the crunchy cheerios in his mouth he overheard on the news that there was a meteor shower expected tonight and that there wouldn't be any like it for another 50 years or so. Thinking nothing of it Richard turned off the television and continued to prepare himself for work.
Since he was running a little low on cash Richard decided that it would be best if he walked down to work today as it was a beautiful day outside anyways. The sun was dancing around in the sky, welcoming everyone into it's light and leaving none from its warm embrace. Not a cloud was in sight in the sky and jets were seen quite clearly soaring overhead towards larger cities. Richard let out a sigh as he knew that he would be trapped inside all day while others had the opportunity to enjoy the day. I wish my life had a little more excitement in it. He thought to himself as he walked down the jagged and cracked sidewalks on his way to work.
Ever since Richard had gotten his job as a factory worker he'd been doing the exact same routine day in and day out. Arrive at work, put packages together and every so often he'd be able to take really peculiar package up to the storage room and that would be all the action he'd ever get to see in his workplace. Now that he thought of it, Richard was really curious as to what was actually inside of those packages, they all had an eerie feeling to them whenever Richard would carry them around and he was never quite sure why. But, his boss strictly told him never to take a look inside as it would cost him his job. lost in his thoughts he was startled when he heard "Hey Richard!" from a fellow coworker.
"Hey Rick" he replied. Rick had been working the same job as Richard for around ten months now and they had become pretty good friends in that timeframe, they would always have discussions as work carried on through the day and without him Richard probably would have left his job a long time ago.
-- Not finished :)
ideas for continuation so i actually remember.
-decides to open package even though Rick advises not to
-see's some weird thing in there, exposure causes explosion
-Ricks trapped underneath beams, thinks about saving him, beams begin to lift a little
-Gets beams off of Rick, too late to save him
-Learns to control his power and use them
-??? yay good stuff happens?
