Shooting Stars
A bully meets his match.
"No way! You can't do that", Josh taunted as he shoved Tobias onto the dusty ground.
Tobias wiped the tears from his face with the back of his hand as he stood up. "I can, I swear. Watch me." He pointed to a star. "Do you see that one?"
Josh confirmed.
Tobias reached his arms over his head, stared at the star and screamed as loud as he could.
The star visibly shook before taking off across the sky.
"Holy shit", Josh whispered. "Wait. Tobias? Can you control where it falls?"
"Not yet", Tobias laughed manicially.
