Savannah Rodrigues, “Brooklyn’s Power”

BROOKLYN’S POWER

Savannah Rodrigues

“I’m gonna get it one way or another.” Shiesty laughs as if he is on the verge of succeeding with his evil plan. Sheisty starts to set up the new and improved Telekinesis Machine 3000, specifically made for him to take Brooklyn’s power. Brooklyn starts to get worried and tries to run but falls right into Shiesty’s net trap. “Where are you trying to run to?” “What do you want from me, Shiesty?” “I want revenge for all that you caused me. I’ve been planning this for years, and now, it’s my time to shine.” Brooklyn starts to use his telekinesis to stop Sheisty from trying to hurt him. He tries, tries, and tries, but nothing works. Sheisty starts to realize and powers on the machine while Brooklyn dangles from the net trap. “Ahahaha, finally.” Shiesty grins mad hard. After a few minutes, Brooklyn starts to lose oxygen and black out slowly. Shiesty gets really excited. Meanwhile, all this power is growing into him. Time is passing by. At last, Shiesty has been fully loaded with Brooklyn’s power and Brooklyn has been defeated. Now Shiesty will take over the world like he had always planned. It all started from when we were kids. Brooklyn and I were the best of friends. Brooklyn and I were seven. We would play video games together, have good conversations, hang out . . . but eventually things started to change. Three years later on a very rainy night, I mean really bad thunder striking everywhere, Brooklyn and I wanted to hang outside. And when we were just about to walk inside the house, Brooklyn got struck by the

lighting from the power light and it hit him straight in his head. Boom! He fell and stopped moving. We rushed to the hospital and his body kept on seizing while he kept flatlining. Eventually we got him back, and he went into a coma for two years, and when he finally woke up he had powers he didn’t even know about called telekinesis. Ever since he got his powers, I’ve been covered by his shadows. Everyone thought his powers were cool and wanted to hang out with him, meanwhile I was being excluded from everyone and everything. I never had my chances to be great. It made me really sad and Brooklyn never took the chance to realize that. This is why I took his powers to begin with. I wanted to know how it feels to be happy and cool. Now that you know the backstory of what happened, it’s time to tell you how I handled things after I took Brooklyn’s powers. “Muahahahaha!”
