Stories

Instant Karma! · 23 pages
Iceman's father is furious as he has engaged in a super battle in front of all of their relatives and destroyed the neighbor's house. His mother lays on an even harsher guilt trip by telling Bobby that his father has a heart condition. Bobby finds himself mysteriously transported to 1942. A cop shoots him in the arm. Bobby awakens to find himself being nursed back to health by his parents, but forty years in the past. They are attacked by the strange being, Kali. William Drake tries to help Iceman and is cut down. Bobby's father dies right in front of him, decades before he was ever born.
