Myqaeun! Myqaeun! boy get your ass over here, you heard me the 1st fucking time. If you miss that dam bus again, you best believe I won’t miss your ass, his father yell. Myqaeun didn’t move from his spot till the sun was came all the way out from behind the clouds. Boy! His father again. Myqaeun ran down the hill till he ran pass his father who tried to hit him in the head as he passes by to catch the bus. Just smile at his father as he misses him & his father smile back. You make sure you listen to your teacher and Myqaeun was on the bus. He always sits on the left side so he can feel the sun on his skin on the way school. He had his two friends Zell & Brake. The three of them would have a dance off or make up a new dance move on the weekends. Myqaeun loves science class, his science project always about how the moon and sun come together and someone could stop time. He always gets an f, because he has no facts. he tells his friends one day the sun and moon will come together and he will be there and all time will stop if he wants it too. Zell will always come back with,” and I’m going to make a time machine and get my mom them lottery number for the Powerball.” Blake would add and I’m Superman. Then they would run and play basketball.
They were always smiling and playing as kids, then time always came and each one had more things to do around their house or new jobs to help pay bills. They saw little of each other every year. They saw in the news that a Solar Eclipse was coming in 2 weeks. They all ran to court where they use to play ball hoping that the others would show up and one by one they did as they hit the court at the same time then together they said, Solar Eclipse in 2 weeks, then they laugh out. Man, I know you were coming, because never stop talking about stopping time. Look if you stop time in 2 weeks, you better make sure you add all my time on my time clock, you feel me. Zell told Myqaeun. A dog I wish you would stop it now, I need a break from cleaning the house and cutting the glass, give me about 3 hours so I can play my game. They laugh again.
I need t0 to be partial to the eclipse, so how are we going to make it, before Myqaeun could say where he wanted to go. Wait, wait for a real dog. Blake reply As Zell came back with, we were just playing around, you can’t be for real about this. Look at us, we are not kids anymore. You are right I’m sorry and he turns to walk away. Hey if you really need to dog, I’ll get my daddy s.u.v and we can ride, Zell told his friend and I’ll come to because I want to see the look on your face when my watch keeps going and going and going and going. As he looks at the fossil watch that he got from a kid who was selling his dad’s stuff because he was mad his dad die on a plane. Myqaeun & Zell look at the watch and together say, who you took that from. Then Zell looks at both of his friends, we don’t leave without any gas money. Man, we got you, they said.
As the days go by and each boy saves up and make sure that they get that day off. Myqaeun knew in his soul he could stop time. He knew space like his back yard, like how he likes his hair cut. He knew he was right, he learns over time, but he needs to charge up 1st, like a new cell phone and only in the eclipse he would get full power because it wanted to stop Blake watch he could have, but they would only say he needs a new battery. And when the sun & moon come together he would be 100% charge up. And could stop people from moving & cars from the move. Birds just in the air like a movie not moving.
Meanwhile, Zell & Blake have thought their friend was and is crazy. And the only way to help is to let him see for himself. Your boy one step from the crazy house, Blake told Zell, with him only to answer back” that’s your boy”. All this time and he on this same stop the time. We got help him. Before people think we are crazy. Zell told Blake. You right, because I need my girlfriends, Blake answer. You need to one girl 1st before at and s to it. Zell laughing at Blake. Man, stop playing you know your big sister and your cuzs are my girlfriends and your last gurl too, but she was crazy I had to let her go. Boy, you play too much and they when their own way as they kept laughing at the other.
The time came and Zell picks up Blake 1st. check it out dog I got this new camera, just so I can show your boy over and over and over again how he didn’t stop time. Sometimes I think you need help too, as they pull up to Myqaeun place and Zell blows the horn. Don’t get scared now, they yell at Myqaeun. He jumps in the back, I’m good. Zell turns the music up and they when to bopping to the beat. An hour and a half when by. They pull over where they saw a crowd of people. Blake saw new girls who he can make them his friends. Zell saw one girl who was different from any girl back home or on TV, Myqaeun felt different as if he was high, but he didn’t want his friends to free like he was crazy, so he yells out, Man look at her, now she’s hot. Man, it’s hot as hell out here too. Blake says out of nowhere and really wasn’t talking to anyone. As he took off his shirt. I’m going to be blacker then I came when we leave here. They look at him and added Man when the eclipse gets here don’t let no one run me over. They laugh, Zell reply with, I knew it the both of you are crazy, it a good thing I’m driving and I’m the one with the keys. Come on here let’s find a sit if you two keep it up, I’m going to leave you right here. Myqaeun was given a look like he didn’t do anything.
They found a sit in the grass beside some girls. Zell gives both the look saying no crazy talk right now. Hi, how are you doing? He asks the girl. she smiles and answers “good and you”. I’m good now, my name is Zell, and their friends Myqaeun and Blake. I’m Angel, yes you are Blake stop here from telling her friends name. you know dark cocoa is good for your soul. She came back with, I don’t like coco, but I was saying I’m Angel, and my two best friends Storm and Crystal as she points at each girl. All six them talk and waited for the eclipse to happen, Myqaeun was feeling sick, they all saw him as his color was leaving him. Man, you ok, Zell asks an old man saw what was going on and told him to drink some water. The heat can get the best of all of us. Think you, I feel ok now, Then the old man gives all of them some water as he saw they all was drinking soda. I’m sorry dog, Myqaeun look at Zell, didn’t want him to feel like he is making him look crazy. Dog, you have nothing to feel sorry for, I was feeling sick too. And the other all said the same. Yea, the dog I have a headache out of this world, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger. They look at Blake and laugh. Angel asks, he is always like this. Myqaeun and Zell look at each other than said hell yea. Then someone from the crowd yells its coming and you can take your glasses off in about 5 more mins. They lay back on the grass looking up just waiting as no one said a word. Then it happens the sun & moon was one together, they all took their glasses off. They yell, the Zell was going ask Myqaeun to stop time, but his friend was having a seizure, Blake look over, all fuck man stop that shit. They tried to hold him. Strom told to just let them do what he needs to, but turn him to his side as she picks up a stick and places it in his mouth so he couldn’t bite his tongue. When the eclipse pass, Myqaeun seizure pass like he never had one. As he got up I’m ok and I feel good after he took the stick out his mouth and the sand that came with. Look, man, I’m taking to the hospital, let’s go Zell told him. Hey here is my number Angel told Zell to call me. He smiles I will. And Strom give her number to Blake as Crystal give hers to Myqaeun she added you take care of yourself and make sure you call me, don’t let the doctor keep you away. They walk back to s.u.v smiling at their numbers, then Blake as he jumps in the backseat, Dog you stop time, but it was only for yourself, but I’m happy you did I have a girlfriend. What happens to the s, Zell asks. Man, you said get one before I can add it. Myqaeun knew he felt better and as they got on the highway he said stop and everything and everyone did just that. He saw the fly in front him, just in the air not moving. As all he wanted was the fly to stop. He saw his friend just sitting there not moving. He didn’t know what to do, his hand touch Zell and he moves, what is going on. Why did everyone stop for, wait when then they stop. Then he saw Blake just smiling and not moving or talking. He knew something wasn’t right. Then look at Myqaeun and jump out the s.u.v, what the fuck did you do? I don’t know, I was just sitting here and that fly in my face and I said stop and it stops and everyone and everything did too. Man, you keep your ass over there and let me think this over. Hours when by and Zell just sit and waited for something or someone to move. Even the wind stopped as he saw a leaf in the air not moving. Then ask why I can move, I touch you with my finger. They walk back to the s.u.v Zell keeps back with his eyes on Myqaeun. As Myqaeun touch Blake, he moves and when back talking about how he going to call Strom time they get to the hospital. Then look up and out the window to how the hell they got out the s.u.v. Man, I think I’m tripping over this girl, what happened, someone doesn’t know how to drive up. Then he looks again, jump out the s.u.v. Motherfucker, you stop time, let’s go to the bank I need some fast cash. And I can get it fast if I can get myself. Zell, you going to jail by yourself. And they all jump back in the s.u.v. it was in drive, but it didn’t move. Dog how we going to get to the bank if we can’t move. Man, be quiet. Zell told Blake. Then Zell told Myqaeun to touch the truck, say move, but nothing happens. Ok, you said the fly was in your face. Tell it to move out your face. Myqaeun, look at the fly, move to fly and the fly move, but no one else or anything else did. Ok, I think I got it, everyone move now, it didn’t work. Man, the day I get a girlfriend you stop her from calling me. You know your dad is in the same spot, O’Dam it! Everyone and everything moves out my way right now I need to get home, I have to feed my daddy. Everyone and everything move. Then Zell said dog it’s not how you say it, it’s how you feel to get it to work. Your emotions are how you get things to stop or move. The fly was getting on your nerds and now you are thinking about your pops.
All the way home they had him making things or people stop and go. Laughing at people as they pass them by or dancing at the green light as if they were putting on a show for everyone who was frozen in time, till Myqaeun told them so they could move again, with his friend he learns how to use his gift. As they said they would not tell anyone. All the way home they had fun. Till they make it there and learn they had more work to do because nothing was done because they were playing around with time.
They just laugh it out over the phone and each one help with their work around the house. Then all three was fast to bed, because they had the last day in their life.
Will continue next week………
