I GET MISTAKEN FOR SOMEBODY ELSE
Needless to say, I didnât sleep a wink.
I mean, how could I after learning my actions will determine the fate of Earth! I tossed and turned all night long, thinking about all of those innocent people down there, and all those kids just going about their business worrying about pimples, homework, and social media cred. They have no clue whatâs going on up here. None of them are fighting for their lives to stop a globe-gobbling pile of glop!
Nope. Apparently, only Iâm dumb enough to get signed up for that one.
And what the heck am I doing here anyway? Why would Order pick me? I mean, Iâm just a kid, not some freaking galactic gladiator. Why didnât he choose Dad, or Mom, or even Grace? Theyâre playing in the big leagues with full control of their powers. Me? Iâm squarely in the minors with no clue how my powers work.
I look around the tiny room. Thereâs no clock so I have no idea what time it is. Order said a door would magically appear when heâs ready for meâwhenever the heck that is.
To my surprise, a door did appear at one point. Thinking it was game-time, I got suited up, only to burst through the door and crash into a toilet. So, instead of answering the call of adventure, I answered the call of nature.
Yep, villains fear me.
It feels like Iâve spent hours in solitary confinement. To prevent myself from going stir crazy, Iâve done everything from jumping jacks to the Hokey Pokey. But mostly, Iâve done a lot of thinking.
Especially about the Orb of Oblivion.
What I donât get is if the Orb is somehow inside of me, then why isnât it working like it did before? The last time I had it, we were mind-linked, and it was talking to me like crazy. Now thereâs complete radio silence. Iâm beginning to suspect itâs mad at me for blowing it up, which is probably justified.
The Orb is a cosmic parasite. When it was a physical entity, outside my body, it mentally bonded to its host and fed off their deepest desires. So, whatâs it doing now that itâs inside of me? The image of a radioactive tapeworm comes to mind.
Iâm feeling totally restless, so I hop off the bed to top my astounding push-up record of five when I notice something unusual.
Thereâs a door.
A gold door.
The last door that materialized was white. So, Iâm guessing this has to be the one!
I rush over to put on my costume when, suddenly, I get the jitters. Is this really it? If so, what happens next could determine the fate of everyone on Earthâincluding my family.
And itâs all up to me.
I pull on my mask, and straighten my cape. The words of a brave friend echo in my mind: Never show weakness.
I take a deep breath, and push through the door.
I step into a large, white chamber with walls that climb hundreds of feet high. There are gold doors all around the perimeter, just like the one I entered from.
