Mini Stories/One Shots

Electrocution

Arthur was walking down the street, pulling his hood down further on his face. It was pouring raining, he loved the rain, but that didn't mean he liked being in it for hours.

He checked the time, 10:12 PM, it was late. And he needed to get to work at 4.

Arthur was a creeper hybrid, in a world where video games and the real world cross, it was bound to happen. He was nothing more than Minerva and Jake Cristens son.

He moved out as soon as he could, his mom was a wonderful mother, but the house was too small for him to live in any longer.

His roommate, Warren Raser, was calling him now. Scolding him for being out so late, even though Warren himself was the one that had school the next day.

"You have work in 6 hours! You need to come home! Forget your glasses, you have a spare don't you?" Warren was very protective for a reckless 17 year old.

Arthur rolled his eyes, he couldn't afford to lose another pair of glasses due to his stupidity. He needed to be responsible and a good role model for Warren. The only way CPS would allow him to stay with Arthur was if Arthur was a proper guardian. Otherwise they'd ship him off somewhere else.

Finally, he made it to the hill he had napped on earlier. He hung up on Warren midsentence.

He kneeled down to pick up his glasses, and held them by his pointer finger and thumb. He almost put them on, but was immediately distracted by the loud crack of thunder, then the follow up of lightning in the distance.

That small moment of distraction was all it took for him to be the unforgiving skys next victim.

He was struck. He wasn't sure if he screamed or not, but all he knew was his new dark surroundings.

He woke up lying on the ground, he felt a stinging and static sensation around and through his body. He sat up with a groan and looked around, finding his glasses, he quickly put them on.

Before he could stand up however, he saw pale blue electricity bouncing around him. He reached out to touch it and it wrapped around his arm, and slowly went up it. Stopping and disappearing once it reached his neck. The metal side of his neck.

He shook off his stupor and looked at the time, "3AM?!?" Arthur jumped up immeadiantly and booked it down the hill, he didn't have much time to waste now.

If he looked a little more closely at his hands, he'd have noticed his once dark green skin was now closer to an aqua color.

So I couldn't draw anything for Electrocution, which was the prompt for this one, but I could certainly write for it!
