The blinking line awaited her next command. She rested her fingers on the keyboard and started to type.
I was born in a small town. She began. Unlike most girls my age, I liked to play rough. I was always a bit of a tomboy and didn't mind getting dirty. From an early age I knew I was different. My powers didn't really come on strong until I hit eight, but before that I could pick up small things like pebbles. All the neighborhood kids thought it was cool. And called me a "superhero". I enjoyed the attention immensely, but later in life I just wished to be invisible.
It was a little after my eighth birthday when me and a few friends were playing outside near a small pond. It started out innocently, we were just skipping rocks across the pond's surface.
"Hey, Terra", said one of the younger boys. "How many times can you skip it across"?
I laughed a little. My rock-skipping record was untouched. I picked up a flat stone with my eyes and threw it. All the kids watched in amazement as it skidded the glassy surface One, two, three, four, five! They all cheered and I gave a slight smile.
"Yeah, well, betcha ya can't throw two at a time". Said an older boy with a cocky smirk.
"Watch me". I replied with grin.
I picked up the rocks and tossed them both in perfect unison. Both traveling the same distance as before. The boy's eyes widened. He was a bit of a bully and had finally met his match. With his ego knocked down a notch he uttered out a spiteful, "freak".
Rage built up in me, and before I knew it, rocks were flying everywhere. I got extremely frightened and broke down, not knowing I was losing control. When the storm of stones and dirt finally came to an end, it was too late. A loose rock had hit the child in the head and blood was pouring out of a deep wound. All the other children stared at me in disgust.
Then, a smaller child gawked at me and said, "Oh my God, you killed Lenny."
Ok so this story isn't humorous, but i couldn't help it! R&R
