He played the sky like a star guitar. Aerial to aerial, water tower to water tower, he made music from a fusion of distance and his light. See him all the way over there? Yeah. Cool. Who'da thunk he'd be anything else?

I'm gonna tell you a story you won't believe. Pay close attention.

My name is Hideki. Professional student, collegian for eight years, and the world's biggest Sonic fan (if I do say so myself). When I heard Sonic had flown over our town, I dropped everything and got out my phone to catch a picture or two. Super Sonic, right? Pretty awesome experience seeing 'im. There he was, floating over the town, and everyone was gawking like he was a UFO. I can only imagine how much he was getting off to all the attention.

So I decided to take a selfie with 'im in the background. Blue and white sky, super hedgehog shining like a star, and my handsome face— what more could you ask for?

Phone went snap and I checked to see how well it turned out.

I had to take another picture, because Sonic bunny'd my head!

"Really?" I turned around and there he was. He should trademark that smirk of his.

I squealed and fell face first into the road. But through some freaky psychokinesis or maybe gravity modification, he lifted me back to my feet and wiped a pebble off my forehead.

He let me take a selfie with 'im! If I took another, I'd probably keep him from doing whatever he was doing before, so I just kept that one.

You think he'd shoot into the sky, right? Well you're wrong— he walked across town. Imagine such a sight! A god of a hedgehog walking down a tranquil middle class neighborhood's sidewalk. He did stop to help some workers who were repairing a street. Recall the floaty psychokinesis he used on me— now imagine him using it on five tons of concrete. If I had to guess, I'd say he saved those workers about twenty days and probably netted them a few pockets worth of pay.

And he kept walking. Sometimes he climbed over fences, and he floated up the length of an old industrial tower that was in the suburbs. Why? I dunno!

That's what we loved about it so much. He wasn't doing anything but being himself. I can't even recall anyone recording the moment after the whole road thing, since we all wanted to leave him alone.

I sat by a tree and watched him fade into the distance. He made me happy.
