NO WAY! ☠️ CHAPTER 1: LIGHT ME UP! 💋


NO WAY

Chapter 1: Light Me Up!

Scott L. had been outside working since early morning.

Poppy looked out the window.

Sun beating down. Tools everywhere.

And a massive white skull sitting in the yard.

She opened the door.

“Scott, want some coffee?”

“Too hot.”

Fair enough.

A little later, Poppy came outside carrying two glasses packed with ice.

“Sweet tea or lemonade?”

Scott looked up.

“Best girlfriend in the world.”

He took the lemonade.

“I think I’ll marry you.”

Poppy smiled.

“Drink. I need you hydrated.”

Scott took a long sip.

Then Poppy looked past him.

“Scott… what is that massive thing you got there?”

Scott glanced over his shoulder.

“You like it?”

“It’s… impressive.”

“Wait till I fire it up.”

Poppy gave him a look.

Then something caught her eye.

“Is that a tail?”

Scott looked at her.

“Very fine tail.”

“The fighter, Scott.”

“Oh.”

A beat.

“Yeah. Nice one too.”

Poppy took another sip.

“How much power?”

“Ten thousand horsepower.”

“Ten thousand?”

“Every last horse.”

Poppy raised an eyebrow.

“Think you can handle all that?”

Scott smiled.

“I was about to ask you the same thing.”

Poppy looked over the half-built fighter.

“Where’s the engine?”

“On the way.”

“I figured you’d get something from Apollo Galactic Industries.”

“Temu.”

Poppy slowly lowered her glass.

“Temu?”

“Had a coupon.”

She stared at him.

“Want to take a break?”

Scott put down his wrench.

“Wanna make out?”

Poppy smiled.

“Finish the fighter jet, Scott.”

Some time later, inside AF-1—

Poppy turned around.

“Oh Scott, what are you doing?”

Scott looked perfectly comfortable.

“Having a great time.”

COOL DOWN

Eventually, they remembered the drinks.

Scott slipped an arm around Poppy as they settled back together.

Sweet tea.

Lemonade.

Ice cold.

Poppy raised her glass.

“Drink. I need you hydrated again.”

Scott took a sip.

Poppy smiled.

“You’re so sweet, Scott.”

Outside, the afternoon rolled on.

Inside AF-1, life was good.

The engine?

Two weeks.

Free shipping.

Scott L.

Born Blessed in South Korea in 1969 and raised in Baltimore, I’ve built a career with 20 years in customer service and 10 years in behavioral health. The crowning jewel of my studies came when I earned the only passing grade of an A from a Harvard professor — a true master of the craft of Shakespeare

And the English language, whose guidance opened the gateway to worlds of imagination, discipline, and wonder.

Married for 25 years, I share the good life with two dogs (Isabella and Juliet) and one cat named Maddie. In my free time, I enjoy writing, biking, gospel music, and spending time with my pastor and friends.
