Sly looked down at his cellphone.

The time read 7:30pm on the tiny glowing screen of his cellphone. His sister, Amia had gotten this phone for him on his 15th birthday, Sly smiled warmly as he remembered how thrilled he was to get it as a gift. His sister seemed to know what he wanted.

He gave a heavy sigh, the smile vanishing from his face, a frown replacing it. He continued walking along the busy street cars and people passing by.

As much as he loved his sister, she was not known for her patience, she was hot headed and quick to anger. While on the other side he himself was calm minded and patient. He sighed again, his sister was so going to kill him for being late. He cringed at the thought of having to explain why he was late coming back from high school.

He looked up from his cellphone at the street’s shops and restaurants.

The light coming from there windows gave the cement on the sidewalk a soft warm glow. Birds chirped their evening song to the sky. Potted and well taken trees that just sat near the curb of the sidewalk and a few inches from the road rustled and swayed slightly as a soothing cool breeze passed by.

(How I’m I going to explain myself this time..?)

Sly tiredly thought to himself.

The funny thing about Sly was that he had a..very bad sense of direction. You could say that he was cursed. No matter where he was or who he was with he somehow got lost on the way to any destination he was planning to go to. Whether it be to school or the local grocery store.

Its not that he was dumb or dull witted in fact he was a genius. Every class he had was boring for him. He knew the answers to almost all the questions in every class. He aced every test and exam. But because of his genius he was avoided in class and labeled a “freak” for how smart he was, he constantly felt the jealous eyes of his classmates whenever he got an answer right.

Only his sister ever stood up for him when they called him a cheater.

He was also pretty tall for his age. His was 16 years old. He had a shaggy black hair that went pass his shoulders. He hated getting his hair cut. He had green eyes that had specks of brown in them. He wore a light blue jacket with the number 1 on it. Unfortunately with his great mind he had a weak body. He hated gym classes and was always the last one to be picked on any sports team activities. He seemed to be cursed with a weak body, he got sick and hurt quite easily. But Sly never let that stop him from living his life.

But with his genius he had one thing that was lacking, a sense of direction.

Sly looked up at the night sky as he walked home. Luckily he had remembered to download the latest app. It was a special app that tracked anything that you gave the directions for. He followed the small beeping marker that was moving on a minimap of his town, on his cellphone .

Sly had typed the address and name of his home. Sly’s parents had died because of a plane crash..only his sister and him had survived the crash..2 people out of 300 of the passenger plane had survived. He predicted the odds in his head of him and his sister surviving a plane crash like that again…

He sighed again.

It had been a very rough 6 years since that crash, he and his sister where around 10 years old when it had happened. He hated it when people looked at him and his sister with pity. He worked two jobs and went to high-school.

He did this to support his sister and him.

Suddenly his cell phone binged he looked down at it. His sister had sent him text.

(Not now!)Sly thought alarmingly.

He slowly brought his thumb to the answer text button on his phone.

His cellphone message box opened on his screen.

The message popped up in with a cheerful bell sound.

Oh how he hated that sound right now.

Sly gave a irritated sigh as he texted back to his sister.

_______*Bing*_______________

Sly:"....Ya..I did...er...can you come pick me up?

I do have a GPS app but well..its getting late and I'm pretty lost even with it."

___________________________

A minute seem to pass before he got an answer back from his sister. He and his sister were very good siblings he watched her back and she watched his.

_____*Bing*_______________

Amia: "Sigh..Sly one of these days you're gonna be the death of me !....

Where are you now, you idle brained moron?"

Sly looked up from his cellphone looking around. It looked like he had somehow gotten himself to the towns main mall. A few cars where in the parking lot. He was a good 30 minutes away from school and home. He cringed, Amia was so going to kick his ass.

___*Bing*___________

Sly: "Amia..um..I'm by the town mall... On Park-side St."

Amia: "Just how did you....It never stops to amaze me Sly how you can lost so easily...hahahah! You really are an idiot! Stay there before you get lost in some god forsaken hole! I'm coming to get pick you up okay?"

Sly: "Can you kindly stop calling me an idiot? and thank you for coming to pick me up"

Sly sat down on the curb of the sidewalk that was just before the malls parking lot. He gave a heavy sigh and looked up at the starry sky.

He looked down at his cellphone,15 mins seem to have passed by.He sometimes wished that he lived in a different world, there he would not be a burden to his sister, he would still have his parents,and he had a healthy strong body.

Sly was looking up when he noticed something odd in the night sky. He looked closer at the strange dark shadowy object.

The Object was getting closer….at a very alarming speed.

It suddenly dawned on him.

It was Heading…STRAIGHT FOR HIM!

Sly quickly scrambled up from his sitting position on the sidewalk curb.

Fear suddenly was taking hold of his body and mind. He was no hero that was for sure.

He looked back at the sky as he ran the opposite way the thing was heading.

The object was so close now. It was very close.

He suddenly fell down over a pothole in the sidewalk dropping his cellphone.

“Shit! what the hell is going on!?” he yelled out loud in panic.

The dark object suddenly stopped over Sly’s fallen body.

A strange humming seemed to fill the the air. The birds and animals had stopped chirping and making sounds, It had suddenly become very silent.

Sly tried to get up his body trembling in fear, his mind reeling in a murky swamp of thought.

As he got up he felt a jolt of pain shoot up his leg. He looked down his ankle had swollen to an unnatural size, the pothole he tripped over must have twisted his ankle.

“…Of all the times..to get hurt!” .

He whispered angrily through his clenched teeth.

He suddenly realized that the humming had gotten VERY loud.

He fearfully looked up at the floating object above him.

It looked like some sort of orb with a giant glowing hole in the center of it.

Out of nowhere a beam of light shot out of the strange gadget and hit Sly’s body.

Sly cried out in pain as he felt the beam hit him.

“EARGHA!!”

Sly collapsed on the cold cement. He desperately tried to stay conscious. But the pain was to much. He finally gave into the blissful darkness escaping the pain…

His last thought was of his sister.

(I’m sorry sis..but it looks like im going to be lost for a while ..lon..ger……)
