Tommy and His Portable Gaming Device - 03
Week Three
by Tommy Comics
Tommy lives in a world that is overpopulated by super-powered heroes and super-powered villians. Due to the over abundance, almost every town in the country has their own superhero. Almost like state representatives, when the amount of superheroes began multiplying they were assigned areas of the country according to population. When a hero grows too old to fight he chooses a successor. Nobody outside of the actual heroes knows how the powers are granted or passed from hero to student. In Tommy's New England home town of Rustington, their hero is the known as the Hammerer. In Rustington, the Hammerer is idolized by the population. Every kid in the local schools wants to be him. And most of them pray they will someday be chosen by him as the next district superhero.
Tommy could care less about Rustington, its population, or the lame "hero" that defends them. An outsider, all Tommy wants to do is finish high school and move the hell out of Rustington to the city. A place where no one knows him and the heroes are actually cool, not some toolbelt wearing hick. The only thing he cares about in this world is his portable gaming device. With an over-bearing mother, a workaholic dad who wanted a jock for a son, and a town chock full of hicks and burnouts, Tommy spends most of his time buried in his portable gaming device.

Reminds me of the days that I just "didn't go" to school. Just happy playing video games without anyone home. It was serene and awesome.
Agreed, QMarc! Those were the best days ever! Especially having to share a PlayStation with 2 brothers, sometimes faking sick was the only way to get a few hours in. Ah, the good old days.
School is dumb. I wish I could take back those wasted years, I would probably have like 50k+ Gamerscore, and maybe a hot car like a Maxima.
I never cut one single class in high school. I was what most people would refer to as "a nerd" or "a goody-goody".
i remember the days of never going to school, the days of getting half a credit my junior year.. *thinks back fondly*.. man gaming really was my life in high school, well hell it is still my life :)
