Generation X, Genogoths

0/5 ( ratings)

Angelo Espinosa shielded his eyes against the sun with the
flat of his rubbery, putty-colored hand, and admired their
creation. It had taken him, Ev, and Jono most of a week
to hammer together the parts in the Xavier School for Gifted
Youngsters’ service garage. Then, being careful not to be seen,
they’d spent better than half the night dragging the parts out
into the giant greenhouse that was the school’s biosphere.
Angelo glanced up at the warm, springtime sun shining
through the glass panels of the ceiling. It was nearly noon.
They’d spent the entire morning tacking the pieces together
with screws, nails, and glue. The last step had been to apply
the plywood decking, but that was finally done as well.
Ev popped out from between a pair of wooden supports
with a hammer in his hand. He turned and wiped the sweat off
his shaved scalp. “Behold,” he said proudly, “the Danger
Ramp, an extreme training challenge based on alien Shi’ar
technology.” He pursed his lips. “Okay, Shi’ar technology and
some two-by-fours and quarter-inch ply we found in the gardener’s shed.”
