Book Excerpt
For twenty straight minutes, I stared down at the ticket in my hand. War Town’s opening day, and I had a ticket. We were just a few miles out and I was still struggling to believe it.
“Hey Olly, how much longer you think we got?”
I looked over at the source of the voice. Mikey looked at his phone as he steered the car with his other hand and the other half of his attention. With any other person, I would have scolded them for looking at their phone while driving. But I knew Mikey Fischer well enough to know how good he was good at multi-tasking. I also knew that no matter how many times I told him not to do something he would always do it.
“Can’t be much longer.” I shrugged. “A few minutes maybe.”
“I hope so. I can’t take this suspense anymore.”
“It’s not like we haven’t seen it before, there’s pictures of it all over the internet.”
Mikey drummed his fingers against the wheel. “Well, yeah, pictures from the outside. I wanna know what the deal is inside. Besides, no way pictures do a justice for this place.”
I paused for a moment and watched my friend’s movements. His finger drumming went on and he bounced a little in his seat. His excitement looked like it was about to burst from him. He stuck his head out the window, letting the wind whip through his thick, brown hair.
“What was that for?” I asked.
“Just to do something, I guess. I’m getting antsy.”
“I can tell.”
“Come on, how can you not be stoked for this? War Town is gonna put Oklahoma to shame!”
I smiled. We had taken more than a few trips to the big paintball tournaments in Oklahoma during college. It would take something like a God to one-up those battles, or at least someone with a great vision and a lot of money. War Town was a case of the latter.
