    "One,
Two,
Three,
Four."

    He swung quite a convincing sword. If you squinted and looked really close. Maybe.

    "Five,
Six,
Seven,
Eight."

    He dropped the stick. It stuck strait up, coming up to his waist for two seconds. It fell the rest of the way down.
It took a second, but he picked it back up. Holding the stick in both hands
He raised the stick up higher than his head. And begun swinging again.

    "One,
Two,
Three,
Four,"

    He took a quick and deeper breath.

    "Five,
Six,
Seven,
Eight."

    He's stopped
pulling the "sword" up next to his head. Above his left shoulder, he'd started swinging again.
Down and to his right knee, he started counting again.

    "One,
Two,
...
Eight."

    Eight more, he thought

    "One,
Two,
...
Eight."

    He continued, from his right shoulder, to his left knee.
Straight left to right, and right to left. 16 each.
He practiced thrusting as well. Eight from the left, eight from the right.

    When he was done..
Practicing?
He fought
Nothing in particular
Just what was around, in the story, he crafted that day
    "Hon, come in side were about to eat."

    He walked his way inside and checked his phone, nothing.
It was only 8:00
food isn't usually ready now. Weird.

    Time passes..
It's about 12:30

    I guess I should try falling asleep.
It was a thought, but he couldn't move.
He was sat up, unable to sleep
writing about a kid with power to enchant whatever he wanted and however he wanted.

    "Why so heavy?"

    Just a second ago, he was up writing, and now he can't even raise his hands off the bed.

    "Who in the hell?" That last word dragged on and faded off.

Go to sleep, kid.

    How? He thought no person could do that and who else could actually speak. He couldn't breathe.

    This other in the room pushed the boys head.
He couldn't control what he did.
Laying on the bed, he'd felt his chest start to get tighter.
What is so heavy?
There was nothing on him, right?
He tried to look around, but his eyes were stuck.
The dots, the white dots floating together in the darkness of the room and figure in front of him, the shining white dots stood out.
    What else was there? and why were they so warm. So welcoming. And it disappeared.
    Riki took two deep breaths.
Loving his newfound life

he fell asleep.
After such a rush, what else could he do.
