The Cusp

Kids these days...
Recall: 8/10

Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm on some sort or reality show, going in and out of third person. There is a man in a house who lets me stay with him, sort of my sponsor. He's an odd fellow, but uncharacteristically wise. He shows me to my room where I sit on the bed and look out the window.

I can see in the window of the neighbour's house, where two teenage boys are dancing with two girls. They spot me watching them and start acting all tough. They go to the window and continue their show of bravado. Next thing I know, they are outside my window pounding on it. I go outside and they continue to harass me, wanting to fight. I oblige them, and punch the oldest one in the face just once. He drops to the ground and his younger friend doesn't know what to do.

The kids and their family are NWO, and won't let this go. The kids were genetically engineered to be superior and larger, so it's unacceptable that they lost to me. Their whole family comes over for a rematch, where I will fight the oldest kid again. They show up, and the reality show film crew are capturing it all. I ask them if they really want to embarrass themselves on camera, but they are dead set that we finish this.

We step out into the street, and the kid and I fight. I'm expecting another easy win, but he kid displays an excellent knowledge of karate. He blocks my first few punches with ease and counters with punches and kicks of his own, which I too avoid. I catch his leg during one of his kicks, planning to pummel him in the nuts, but somehow I can't find the right opening, or even move to strike at all. I finally break through that mental paralysis and punch him right between the eyes. He goes down and our contest is over.
