The Storm Through The Darkness

May 9th 2011

*Storm Harrison is getting out of his car in front of his local "Mega Foods" grocery store. The sky overhead is gray and getting darker by the minute. Just as he locks his door, a man and a young boy are looking at him timidly. Storm immediately recognizes them as curious fans. He gives them a wave and smiles. The boy looks up at the man, who gives him a nod.*

Man: Go ahead, son. It's ok.

Kid: Hey mister, are you Storm Harrison?

Storm Harrison: Yes, I am. Nice to meet you. Are you a fan?

Kid: Yeah! I think you're the best! My dad and I watch you every week.

SH: That's great! I hope I'm doing a good job. The NRWL is tough!

Kid: Are you worried about fighting Abbadon? Those guys are so scary!

*Storm looks up as thunder booms in the distance. The sky begins to get darker.*

SH: Well, they're big guys and very scary but I am ready to fight Abbadon. He hits hard but he'll need to be prepared from all angles. I can hit him straight on, down on the mat, and up in the air. Besides, with fans like you and your father, I know I'll have the support I need.

*Rain begins to fall and lightning strikes in the distance, breaking the increasing blanket of darkness for a brief moment.*

SH: Well, we should get out of this rain. It's a pleasure meeting both of you. I'll give Abbadon a fight he'll never expect. I promise!

*Storm shakes hands with the boy and his father. As they are about to part ways, the father pulls the hood of the boy's jacket over his head and puts an arm around him.*

Man: Can't believe how dark it got out here. Hey, good luck, Storm! The Sons of Darkness don't show mercy!

SH: Thanks, *Another flash of lightning brightens the sky* but it'll be ok. The darkness doesn't last forever.

*Storm Harrison starts walking toward the store, seemingly unaffected by the rain.*

Man: This weather or the Sons of Darkness?

SH: Both.

*Storm Harrison smiles as he tosses a wave to the man and boy behind him.*
