The life of Johnny Shuffleboard
#1

The amber droplet hung from the branch, reaching fullness and ready to drop. It waited. While many of the other droplets were satisfied to form as big as they could and release, this droplet had other plans. It wanted to be part of history. It wanted to be remembered long after all the other droplets had dissolved into history. So it waited for the perfect specimen to fly by to trap and capture that it hoped would eventually be discovered hundreds of years in the future. That specimen was S54 SMJHL draft.

Johnny didn't like the food. He never did. He made the usual complaints and started the tantrum everyone knew was coming. But this time was different. Instead of trying to placate him and him unreasonable demands, Sato just stared at him and watched his meltdown without saying a word.

Johnny sat in the darkened rink waiting. It was now a standoff. The ref had the power to put him in the box, but not the power to make him repent. It wasn't fair and no matter how long he had to endure the darkness, he wouldn't change his attitude. At three seasons in the league, Shuffleboard's stubborn personality had already bloomed into full view.

She looked at his student wondering if he could ever get through. "You need to learn to think for yourself," she wanted to tell him. "Your friends are holding you back and bringing you down." But she didn't because she knew his friends were all that he had and even if that meant a life of misery, he would never give them up. Johnny Shuffleboard might have a future in the league. He also might not. These penalties would only stop, she told him, if you don't be an asshole every time you step on the ice.

It was a scrape that he hardly noticed. Sure, there was a bit of blood but it was minor compared to most of the other cuts and bruises he acquired on his adventures. There was no way he could know that the stick that produced the cut had alien genetic material on it that was now racing through his bloodstream. He felt perfectly normal and continued his adventure with no knowledge of what was about to happen to him.

He never looked back.

I'd say I'm the best writer I know, and this article really proves it.
