I never asked for this. 

They say that sometimes, greatness is thrust upon a person, but do they think about the person who becomes great?  

What if they didn't want to? 

What if they just wanna lead a normal life?

What if they spend their entire existence cursing the moment they washed their hands before plugging in their phone charger? 

What if they don't want to spend their last moments on earth trapped under a huge cyborg's foot? 

"Well it's too late for that now Zac, you've got a job to do, you know; something along the lines of  stopping the 20ft cyborg from destroying Dealton??"

Zachary Quinder. Just your average school attending, pizza loving, Netflix hogging guy. What will he do when he suddenly wakes up two feet above his bed? That's been frozen? Inside an ice cube?
