Stikle lives in a world of dreadfulness powered by an evil dictatorship. Every last person, whether they are man, woman, or child, is forced to play and show a passion for football. If you choose to rebel against this rule, you are taken away to a Slocup, a place where torture is most brutal, and escaping is only a distant vision. Unfortunately for Stikle, he is not a football player. In fact, he is downright awful at football. He cannot throw nor catch a ball, and most importantly, he cannot even run. At every football game, he sits on the cold, rigid bench, never to even gain sight of the playing field. Throughout this season, Stikle has participated in one single play. The end result was disastrous. He dropped a ball that was snapped

With the last week of the season winding down, and only one play under his belt, Stikle was in a serious predicament. He had to do something, and it had to be done immediately. He tried dressing as another star athlete. That did not work. He tried working out; jogging, lifting weights, running sprints. No success with that either. He even tried paying off his teammates so they would allow him to play. Of course, there was no chance at two plays with that strategy. Stikle was beginning to lose hope.
Two evenings later, on Friday night - the night in advance of gameday, Stikle sat down to a dinner of fried, home-caught bluegills with potatoes. He knew if he did not play tomorrow, this would be his last meal with his family. Therefore, he decided to make the most of it. He indulged in a whole crockpot worth of cheesy potatoes, two plates filled to the brim of sweet potato fries, and finally a whole package of 20 or more bluegill fillets. Unfortunately, after the meal he felt miserable. His stomach ached, and he knew tomorrow morning would come with a rude …show more content…
It was something that he had never felt before. His muscles felt tingly and the bones inside his body started to shake like a leaf. At first, he figured it was just his body thanking him for what he had done, but when he began to feel strong and very athletic he knew something else was up. He finished up in the bathroom and dashed downstairs to the kitchen.
Surprisingly, he was excited for his football game that was coming up in just about an hour. He continued his route to the table for breakfast, when he noticed a stool obstructing his path. Without even thinking about it, Stikle leapt directly over the stool with ease. He had no clue what had just happened.
Upon arrival at the season’s final game, Stikle’s team was on the field, ready to begin warm-ups. Just for a good laugh, one of Stikle’s teammates chucked a football downfield, hoping to watch Stikle get nailed in the face. Stikle, however, one handed the football out of mid-air and fired it like a rocket 80 yards downfield. His team couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed. The worst football player in history just did something no one else had ever even dreamed
