1. Burt-Rumpy

1- Burt- Rumpy

The very, very first time Tyler Reed had seen him, he was thirteen. The boy had just arrived home from school with his sister and switched on the TV. The news was on, and he was about to switch the channel when the keywords "monster", "incredible", and "hero" caught his attention and he was intrigued. A bunch of people in the desert fought giant worms and won. Using bombs. In real life.

Tyler called his dad in to watch. The newscasters interviewed a bunch of the survivors. They talked to one guy quite a bit. He was the one who had made the bombs that had saved the town, the little place called Perfection. And Tyler thought he was just so cool.

Right then and there, Tyler knew he wanted to meet Burt Gummer one day.
