Something bad probably would of happened if you did. I hate that feeling that if you do something today something bad will happen.

I don’t normally do this to my own stuff but the line _“Like right now, dude,” he responded, “I think we should go inside. If we go after the ball, something bad is gonna happen. I just know it!” totally reminds me of something Shaggy would say to Scoobie-Doo. (End of Transmission)

Yes, I agree with blusparrow; something bad would probably happen. It’s in Murphy’s law. : ) Thanks for entering.

I say screw fate and go after the ball. That philosophy has served me well and only lost me three fingers and a leg. Kidding. Neat story with a quick little turn towards the dark side in the end.

LOL , that philosophy has served me well and only lost me three fingers and a leg. Some of my favorite commentary ever, THX !

Great example of Deja Vous! And I agree, the “Like right now, dude” line is very Shaggy! Very ominous tale.

mysterious, in an ordinary teen setting of playing bball, you made it ominous and well developed characters , even the twin terrors.

Funny and spooky all at once. Deja vu or no, I wouldn’t have gone into the dark after the ball on principle. Bad things live in the dark.
