//------------------------------// // Prologue: Journal // Story: Titanium // by Berry Punch //------------------------------// October 5th, 1986 Entry#1: I'm not sure what's happening, I'm scared and I don't know what to do. I am going to record this in my journal, to report of any new... changes. October 23rd, 1986 Entry#2: I can lift things, with my mind! Today I was sitting at my desk completing homework and my pencil was across the room and it just... came to me, like I commanded it! I'll record any new changes, I must not let anyone see this. November 17th, 1986 Entry#3: I've been practicing my "telekinesis" I can lift bigger objects like my brothers football now. I haven’t told anyone yet, I think I’m going to keep this a secret. December 1st, 1986 Entry#4: I don't know what I did. Last night I woke up to a bright light in my bedroom. There was a huge shockwave or something, I'm not sure what I did but my room is a mess now. Better clean it before dad finds it like this. I'll try look more into what happened. December 4th, 1986 Entry#5: It happened again, only this time I was awake. I came back from school after being beaten up by Tanner... again. In a fit of rage I began punching the back wall of the house and in my anger I just... exploded I guess. There seemed to be a buildup of energy surrounding me and in my anger, I just released it. A shockwave of what looked like golden light shot out from me. I really need to try hide this better. December 24th, 1986 Entry#6: Yet another crappy Christmas. The family doesn't get me any gifts, yet I go out and get them something. I got Bradly a new football, Aaron a baseball bat and I got dad some nice cologne. I got nothing in return, not to mention Christmas dinner was fast food. I haven't noticed any new changes. January 8th, 1987 Entry#7: I went to the school’s New Year’s party, not much happened. I sat in the corner of the hall with some punch and watched people dance. Tanner Cairns punched me in the gut, called me “teeth” again. Ugh I hate that name, and that was that. When I got home I was slightly depressed and went up to my room. I sat on my bed and started staring vacantly at my teddy bear my mom had bought me when she was alive. The bear began to float upwards, though I had not summoned it to come near me. It didn't travel in my direction, it just slowly, but surely floated up to the ceiling and just stayed there. March 16th, 1987 Entry#8: I haven't made any new entries lately, I haven't noticed any specific changes. Though I can now float various items at once. I have been building up my strength and can now lift much heavier things. We have a burnt out car in the back yard and I have been practicing by lifting it. March 30th, 1987 Entry#9: It's been months since I last exploded with that... golden light, but today I figured how to do it without much effort. I just have to remind myself of what really angers me the most. I am scared though, if Tanner or some other bully angers me enough in school, I may not be able to control this. I better lay low. April 1st, 1987 Entry#10: Tanner thought it would be funny to activate spring traps in my locker and put mustard in them. When I opened the locker the mustard just flew into my face. I managed to keep my anger on the down low, but I'm not sure how long I will be able to do that. Tanner Cairns is the single most infuriating person in this entire town. April 22nd, 1987 Entry#11: I can jump! Really, really high! I was reading some superhero comics and the idea just popped into my head. I aimed my hands to the ground at a slight angle, so I would jump in that direction. I crouched and then jumped normally, but also used my "telekinesis" for a little extra... push, and I went soaring over the fence of my back yard. To land softly again I aimed my hands downwards and pushed to slow me down. This was a brilliant discovery, what more can I do? May 12th, 1987 Entry#12: I was off sick for around two weeks, I haven't discovered anything new. I'll keep recording my changes. Tomorrow I'm going to go back into school, I'm feeling much better.
