Fire in the skyby
Yo_SpiffComment by K3Master: ...and in the flash of a moment of time, Steve's historic demonstration became a fight for life and control. It was the mid-21st century, and this sort of thing could not happen anymore, he thought, as he fought against the sudden fire billowing from his plane, his controls becoming more and more unresponsive. As he fought the flight-stick, the plane careening out of control, and a crowd on the ground screaming and running for cover, Steve saw the catalyst for this tragic happening out of the corner of his eye, a ghostly red plane, with tri-wing design, shooting off into the clouds, and a thin but strong chord of evil laughter being left in its wake.
Steve closed his eyes as his plane finally went into a dead spin, his control now utterly lost. He closed his eyes and silently cursed the legacy of his family, and he put a hex on the ghost of the Red Baron, which would never leave he or his descendants alone, and he prayed for his young son, who loved airplanes so, and in his last moments he wished that perhaps, just perhaps, his son might be the one to finally put the Red Baron to rest. One day...
...and with that thought, his own future disintegrated into a fireball on the ground, and in the crowd that stared in horror, was one little face, his eyes like stone, his fists clenched in an anger he didn't understand, and a vengeance was sworn.
