CONCUSSION: DAY ONE

by Richard Skeet

Some days define a man; some days define Man. Who you are, who you were, who you will become.
December 7, 1941. September 11, 2001. DAY ONE- Only a few such days in human history.
The day you your first-love; the day you the news; the day you great loss; the day you something that defines you- Only a few such days in a human life.
Love. Kindness. Pleasure. Joy. Lust. Pride. Envy. Revenge. Pain. Cruelty. Terror. Destruction. Murder. Hate. Rage- ALL contain the potential, the seed of germination; genesis of creation, to redefine; reshape, a NEW MAN, superior to what was DAY ONE.

Begin an epic journey, (The Furai Compilation,) spanning centuries of human existence; a tale of majik, conquering philosophies, unimaginable wealth and power, secret societies, galactic empires, apocalyptic visions, alien races, and a terrible war of attrition, ALL centering around a young boy, Ray, who's training holds the key to Man's future as the rightful rulers of this galaxy...

...
Ray a poor-kid's toys, a poor-kid's haircut, a poor-kid's sneakers- Those things didn't matter much in the 6th grade; when Ray gets to East they matter.

Ray's a master at chess; learned the game at age four.
...
The biggest bully in Ray's Chuck Daley. Daley's the size of a small man, at age 12; Ray's the size of a small fifth-grader.

Daley's in remedial education; not quite dumb-enough to ride the short school-bus; but, quite a bit dumber than his peers. In gym, however, Daley's a demigod.
...
Ray and Daley share gym with the hottest girl in the school, at least Ray thinks so.
...
Ray gets staring at her; venerating her; revering her; worshiping her; idolizing her-
...
Kristen likes Ray, but, because of the junior-high pecking-order, outside these advanced Ray does not exist to her.
...
Kristen and boyfriend and girlfriend. The strongest, dumbest, meanest boy, and, the smartest, most-beautiful girl.
...
Ray often meditates, a near-constant-often-recurring affirmation, perhaps, "I'd sell my soul to the devil to get that girl!"

Ray feels repentant about such thoughts afterwards; feels raised a good-Catholic boy. Ray goes to church every Sunday; believes in The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This makes his thoughts all-the-more wrong, blasphemous; idolatrous; on his knees, a human-sacrifice-in-tribute at KRISTEN'S alter; lust; doesn't keep him from thinking them. Ray accepts this guilt; flagellates himself emotionally because of it.
...
15 kids per red rubber-balls. Daley's feared at dodgeball. Hurls the ball it's believed by all to be uncatchable. When Daley hits the ball leaves a red welt on your flesh.

The game begins fast and furious.
PONG!
Sound of death;
sound of humiliation;
sound of the herd being thinned.
Sound of a red-rubber ball, leaving a red welt on flesh.
...
PONG!
The reaper.
Daley never misses,

I fuckin hate him, but, I admire the power.

When Ray's team's down to six-players Ray makes his move.
...
Ray takes control of the remaining players. They're demoralized, looking for leadership. Ray steps in; provides it, without pure confidence.
...
"Tell about the first day of the Gray Day One."
...
"A globally-coordinated All communication, all power, all population-centers, globally, three minutes.

At 8:30 a thriving, global, technologically advanced-civilization.
At 8:33: billions dead; most of man in the stone-age."
