Chapter One: a small Spark

It was a bright and sunny day. In small town Iowa. Jason was lazing around in his room watching movies. All around him were dirty clothes, dinner plates from a few nights ago, a bag of garbage that's been there for weeks, and various other messes on top of an otherwise hospitable bedroom.

Jason Wriley longed for something exciting to happen to him, however, the most excitement he got was from playing his video games. He has very few friends and barely leaves the house, but still manages to hold a small but strong physique. Although his free time is usually spent in front of a television or computer screen, he manages to liven up everyone he comes around when he does leave his house.

"Jason," Jason's father said, "Truck needs to be cleaned out." Jason merely nodded, rose from his seat, grabbed his clothes, and made for the bathroom. It was nearly time for work and the truck could wait. After all, it wasn't his responsibility to clean someone else's mess. So he proceeded to get ready and then left for work shortly after.

Jason works at a grocery store where he works graveyard shift. The sun had just gone down and the store was emptying rapidly. He made his way to the back where he met up with the rest of the overnight crew and greeted them all as he does every night. As the announcement for the stores closing for the night boomed over the intercom, the overnights began their routines and got to work. The night was going along pretty normal, everyone was joking every so often, the overnight manager was giving compliments and making funny comments over the intercom. "Attention all overnight associates," the manager said, "I've just heard over the radio that, should you come face to face with a rampaging moose somewhere in Canada, be sure to play dead, that is all."

And so the night was going pretty normal. Around meal time Jason and the other associates made their way to the lunch room for their meal break. On the way, one of Jason's coworkers stopped him

"Hey Jason, not so hyper tonight huh?" she said.

"Eh, not tonight. Not really feeling that spark I guess." said Jason.

"You're still out working the rest of us, but a little of your craziness would be welcome. Would certainly wake me up."

"Perhaps a little sugar then?"

"Just don't over do it, wouldn't want you knocking over another feature like last time huh?"

As they made it to the lunch room, Jason felt a small shock as he passed through the doorway.

"Ouch!"

"What?"

"Just got shocked."

Just as he said that, he shocked the girl next to him.

"Eek! Knock it off!" she yelped.

"He he sorry" he said.

From there, the night went as usual.

Eventually day broke, and everyone went home tired. Jason jumped in his truck and made his way home. While playing with the radio, he felt another shock.

"Ah, dang! That one hurt." he said as he pulled his hand quickly from the radio. When next he tried to change the radio station, the radio wouldn't work.

"Musta blown a fuse." he said saddened.

Jason entered his home and was about run straight to his room as his father was just waking up and stopped him.

"Truck cleaned out?" he asked.

"No, not like I had time to do it though huh?"

"Fine, find a way to work tonight then, you're not taking the truck."

"What? You tell me to clean the truck seconds before I start getting ready for work, to clean out a mess YOU made mind you, and now you're going to stop me from going to work as punishment? What kind of logic is that?"

"If you're going to be driving MY truck, then you are going to take care of it, simple as that."

"Well I wouldn't NEED your truck if you would just help me get a damn car of my own! But no, instead you decide it's a better idea to slow me down in getting a car myself?"

"When you are on your own, and have your own vehicle, then you can decide how long to keep piling junk in it…"

"YOU PUT THE JUNK IN THERE!"

"That's it, out get out of my house! If you're not going to listen then you are not going to stay under my roof. NOW!"

Jason was shoved out of his house and the door slammed in his face with the lock latching. With that, Jason turned around, a scowl on his face, and just started walking. Tired from a long nights work and no where to go, he wandered aimlessly for a few hours.

"The only reason I got that job was because he told me too, then he gets mad that "I didn't think things through" and tries to punish me by not letting me work? And when I finally make him realize how stupid he's been he throws me out? Screw that!" Jason said as he came to a park and sat on the bench.

"What am I going to do now? I don't have enough money saved up yet for a vehicle, and I can't get to work without one, and without work, I can't afford a home OR get enough money to buy a car to get to freaking work!" Jason mumbled to himself.

Just then, Jason's mother came up to him and sat on the bench next to him.

"You're dad's being an idiot again. Just give him a moment to cool down." she said trying to comfort Jason.

"I know, but I'm not going back home. I need my own place, I need my own vehicle, and hard as I try I can't get either, and all he's doing is making it harder for no reason other than being the drunk he is."

"Yeah, but you should still come home and grab your stuff. You can stay with uncle Gibby for now. He's got plenty of extra vehicles you can drive."

"Much as I don't want to, that is my only option I guess"

With a loud sigh, Jason and his mother headed back home to grab Jason's things. On the way, strange things started happening. A coin stuck to Jason's hand, seemingly as magic. The radio cut out every so often and various functions of the car would activate. Both Jason and his mother blew it off as the car needing to be fixed and ignored as much as they could.

They both got out of the car and walked to the house as if nothing had happened. As they entered, Jason's father was waiting.

"I told you to get the %&* out of my house!" he yelled.

"Calm the $% down! I'm grabbing my things and then I'm gone." Jason retorted.

This led to much yelling, arguing, and violence for some time. The madder Jason got however, the more strange things were happening. The lights would flicker and someone would get a small shock every so often.

"And you're the worst kind of person there is! What kind of father are you who drinks an 18 pack every single night and won't even so much as get off your lazy ass to buy it yourself! Even better, look how I turned out from your wonderful parenting!"

With those final words, Jason stopped. He felt paralyzed, and fell to the floor gasping for breath. His heart was racing, and every muscle in his body was tightening. His parents merely watched, unsure of what they were seeing. Finally, Jason managed to let out an ear piercing scream.

"eeaaaaaaaahhhhHHHHHHHH!"

A massive pulse of electricity exploded from Jason's body, hitting everything. The pulse expanded rapidly, almost instantly, outward to every house, animal, vehicle, and anything else that conducts electricity. Small explosions occurred as elements were split and nearly the entire state of Iowa went dead.
