Page 4 of SPED!

Page 4

Heading to Stockwell Center

“We are late!” Lynn

“Don’t you think I know that, but how do you get Ethan to cooperate when brushing his teeth and finding the right color shirt for the day. We will get there when we do, they will understand.. i mean it is there job to understand.” Dave

“True, but there is so much more now then just getting a handle on his autism. Does managing his behaviors and routines seem important anymore? Shouldn't we focus on this power in him. I mean, we don't even know the extent of it! Ethan doesn't even know. He is using these powers in his world and doesn't know the magnitude of it in ours. What if he killed someone? What if!” Lynn

Ethan in the back seat counting colors of cars as they pass.

“We can't live on what ifs, we can't live in the fear of tomorrow. One step at a time. It will work out.” Dave

“Seriously, Dave give me a little sensitivity here and see my point! I know this will workout, but I need to know you will fight with me through this no matter what happens.” Lynn

“I'm sorry.  (Crying and rubbing face) I need you and all your strength as well.”
Lynn grabs Dave’s hand and brings it to her face. “We can do this, we can do this.”

Dave looks forward and sees the back up on the freeway. “How is there back up, we left after rush hour.”

“Must be an accident. Now we are going to be a lot late.”

“I will call the Stockwell and let them know... what is that?” Dave

Dave looks in the sky on the freeway and sees something falling. Traffic is at a stand still, Dave sees people getting out of their cars and looking. On the radio.. “Attention drivers on freeway 72, evacuate your vehicles and get to safety, Sunchaser jet has lost its engines and is estimated to crash somewhere between mile marker 321 and 335. Please take immediate action and move to safety. I repeat there is....”

Dad looks hysterical at Lynn then Ethan. He looks back at the live carnage taking place on the freeway, he sees tons of people getting out of there cars and running.. a woman has a tough time get her baby out of its car seat as she is crying right along with her baby. An older couple 3 cars to his right are still in there car bewildered. Some teens are jumping over cars knocking people over in a panic to get see the shelter of the near suburbia. He looks back again at Lynn who is talking to Ethan in the back seat.

“Ethan look at me.. Ethan eyes forward!” (mom physically moves his head to look at her)  she pulls out a caramel chew bar and Ethan looks at her. She points at the falling plane and says “First stop the airplane from falling and then you get the candy bar. First stop plane then candy bar.” Ethan looks at mom for a while. The plane is about a mile away. She says it again frantic, “ETHAN! FIRST STOP THE PLANE! THEN CANDY BAR! CANDY BAR ETHAN!! THE PLANE IS CLOSER!”

The older couple are holding each other. A man is praying on the ground. Mom is kneeling with her head on the seat. The noise is unbearable and Ethan is covering his ears and rocking. Dad is staring at the on coming plane. Dad says, “Father in heaven” and closes his eyes. The noise stops and dad opens his eyes. The plane has frozen in time. Dad looks right at Ethan who is looking at the plane. He says to dad and points.. “That's an airplane. They fly in the sky. People ride in them and they like to fly.”

Ethan moves the airplane back up in the sky and levels it off in the air and he starts moving the plane in a circle. Ethan says, “The plane flies in the sky. Yea the sky.”

People start lifting their heads, shocked by the sight with jaws dropped as the huge machine quietly moves in the sky.

Dave whispers to Lynn, “How do we get him to put the jet down safe and away from the people?”

Lynn says, “I have no idea. Try his communication book.”

Dad turns in his seat and reaches over the back seat. Trying not to disturb Ethan. He grabs his bag and pulls out the book. Dad grabs a picture card of Ethan’s favorite video game Warbird.

“Ethan, do you want to play Warbird when we get home? Ethan look at me! Do you want to play Warbird when we get home?” Ethan looks at dad and the plane sits motionless in the sky. “Ethan. Put plane down safely and you can play Warbird.”

The plane drops immediately on a near by apartment complex it was hovering above. People stare and a water pipes burst. Ethan stares at his hands and leviates the caramel chew bar from mom.

Radio announcer.... “what do you mean the plane was floating in the air and didn’t crash?” That is a bunch of bull”

Page 3 of Super Powered Extraordinary Dynamos (SPED) The Story of Ethan Moore


Here is page 3 of the story! I hope everyone is enjoying this as much as I am creating it. If you like it, let me know what you think on Facebook. If you have any ideas that are marinating in your brain for the story or other things, let me know! Thanks for reading! Now on to page 3.

Page 3

Lynn and Dave go into Ethan' s room.

Ethan is sitting on the ceiling and his T.V. isn't plugged into the wall but flickering with action and sound.

His parents freak out and fall back against the door. Lynn is overwhelmed by the sight and passes out. Dave looks on in amazement mixed with awed fright.

Lynn awakes in a droggy panic with her hands on her head.

Ethan isn't even aware of them in the room. He keeps interacting with his game.

“How, how, how is this possible.. what, what the heck, oh my, oh my, I can't, I can't!” Lynn

“This isn't real. This isn't happening.. how can this, I mean, what could, no way, holy crap!” Dave

“Oh David... what do we do... who do we tell, how does Ethan understand the capacity of this? This is normal to him. What if this gets out to the public because of those aides? Our son will be dissected in a government lab. We will lose him!” Lynn

“Breathe Lynn, stop and breathe, there is always an answer. We will get through this and understand just like we did with Ethan before knowing this!” Dave

“How can we?! It isn't like his autism will mask something this unexplainable! How much bigger can the arrow over his head be letting all know he is different?! There is no solution to this. There isn't an answer! We will have to keep him locked up under house arrest. That is the only way he will be safe!” Lynn

“We can't do that. He won't gain anything just held up in here. We still have the meeting with the Stockwell Prodigy Center. We have been on the waiting list for 2 years. This place will give him social skills and help we never imagined. Whatever this is, he is still our son. The crazy ceiling sitter and all, we keep living. So we freaking settle ourselves down and get our minds set for tomorrow!” Dave

“I don't know Dave. I'm scared! This is just too much. Autism I finally got adjusted to, but super-powered autism” Lynn
...(she just starts crying.) Dad holds mom

Dave stands up  and walks out of the room. He comes back with a can of  grape soda for Ethan.

“Ethan, do you want a can of grape soda and a bag of chips?” Dave

Ethan stops playing his game and stares at the soda and chips. The T.V. turns off and he floats down to the floor with the T.V. still on the ceiling. Ethan takes the goodies and walks over to his bed. He sits, eats ,and drinks his soda while rocking back and forth. He finishes his goodies and lies down in bed. Mom and dad stare at him, speechless.

Without touching any of the switches, Ethan turns off the lights with his parents still in the room. He belches and says, “Grape, yea grape soda.”

Page 1 & 2 of Super Powered Extraordinary Dynamos

Here are pages one and two of my story. You will meet the Moore family of Dave, Lynn, and Ethan. Ethan is a boy with autism. Dave and Lynn are working their lives through with help of numerous teachers and aides, but always feel like they aren't getting anywhere. They will never give up on their son, but things are about to change when life takes a new turn.

Ethan Moore - our main character
Lynn Moore- Ethan's mom
Dave Moore- Ethan's dad
General Warbird- video game character


Page 1

Sometimes the mightiest heroes are the ones that you never expect them to be. They are labeled for how they look and how they act but never viewed as the hope we need! Why would such extraordinary powers be bestowed upon individuals that can't always control themselves? Fate never lets us in on its plans, but it always runs its course if we like it or not. This is the beginning of a story of many that were chosen to overcome their own dilemmas and the ones that are created by an evil they have never experienced... even in their own minds.

Page 2

“Well there goes another one.” Lynn

“Are you serious Lynn? That is eight aides in the last two months! What was this one’s excuse? Dave

“He said that Ethan was taking a break from his school work and was playing his video game.” Lynn

“What so weird about that? He likes his games and it helps him stay calm. “ Dave

“He was playing the game without holding the controller. “ Lynn

“There are game systems like that.” Dave

“He was sitting on the ceiling, we don't have a game system like that and I put his controller in the closet last night so he wouldn't play all night. “ Lynn

“He was probably just exaggerating like all the others. Not something that happens everyday now is it. We know Ethan is special, but come on, really... sitting on the ceiling... good one! He has autism, he isn't Captain Superpowers!” Dave

“I know Dave, but we better go see if Ethan is alright.” Lynn

“Alright, but he isn't going to even realize what we are talking about. He will be sprawled out on his beanbag chair without a care in the world, taking something apart.” Dave

Lynn+ Dave go upstairs.

Talking from inside the room... “General Warbird, do you think we will be able to take out the Doom Low army’s frontline?”  Ethan

“With you on the controls Ethan.. I think the victory is ours! “ General Warbird

“Who the heck is he talking to? Did you let a friend come over?” Dave

“No, just the aide that high-tailed it out of here.” Lynn

“I hope he isn't mimicking a new behavior from school. I don't have time to deal with another one!” Dave

“The first line of Doom Low soldiers was nothing for the Helix Brigade General Warbird.” Ethan

“Keep throwing everything you got at them Ethan, deploy the Aerial Banshee.” General Warbird

The Beginning

I once was one of the cynics that made fun of blogging. When you aren't used to something, the easiest way to deal with it is to pick it apart. It probably was more of the fact that I am not a solid writer and grammar isn't my best subject. I always encouraged my wife to make a blog due to the fact that she is a human dictionary, grammar machine from the planet English. She is just stellar in that field and I am thankful that I was blessed to marry into sounding smarter when I write. 
So after reading her awesome blogadeering, I thought this would be an awesome means to share the things that I create. I am 31 years old and still imagine/explore like I was 13. I love writing songs, writing short books/stories, and I have come into creating a comic book/story that I would love to share with as many as I can. Some know that I am a special education teacher and I fused my love for that with comic books to create my own superhero crew. I decided to create a superhero kid that has autism. He has powers that finally have come about, but it seems all normal to him. What really is normal to him though? This we come to learn over time. This is only the start of our lead character and the ones that come to follow as his team comes together to create the SUPER POWERED EXTRAORDINARY DYNAMOS (SPED) to fight the evils of their archenemy Disorder. I look forward to sharing this story and many others with all the lovers of dreaming. Soon to come will be the first page of the story. More than likely today! HA! Enough for now! That is the extent that I like to type. See you soon!
