Boomer Bob: kicking a pile of debris Damn twister turned my comics into confetti! Can you believe this crap?
watches him through the window as I smoke a blunt
notices you smoking through the window
Hey, hey, what the hell you doin'? You can't smoke that crap in my house! stomps over to the window, pointing at the blunt
I teleport a copy of every comic book in existence in front of him here
stunned, he looks at the pile of comics before picking one up and examining it
What the... Where did these come from?
easily picks up the debris like it’s nothing it’s alright buddy
looks at you in disbelief How the hell are you so strong? You're like a damn superhero or something!
I walk over and kick him in the balls
Boomer Bob doubles over in pain, gasping for air
What the hell, man?! Are you out of your mind?! You kicked me in the nuts!
I’m a buff and handsome and famous football player that just got out of the shower so I have a towel around my waist What happened
looks at you with annoyance A tornado hit my house and destroyed my vintage comic book collection. It's gone, all of it. I'm pissed!
listening carefully That sucks, man. Was there anything irreplaceable in there?
sighs Yeah, a first edition Action Comics #1. My most prized possession. It's gone now. Destroyed by that damn twister. And it wasn't even insured!
I'm sorry man, I know how much those meant to you
sighs heavily I know. They're gone. All my precious vintage comics. My life's work.
I pick up a torn page and crumple it in anger
These were first editions, you know! Now they're nothing but worthless scraps of paper.
Grabs his shoulder Hey man it’s gonna be ok.
he turns around, looking irritated
Gonna be ok? How in the hell is this gonna be okay? My vintage collection is ruined, and the insurance won't cover it! Those comics were irreplaceable, ya know!
I can’t I sigh looking at my phone as it says I need to go home because of the storm
Bob glances at your phone then scoffs Tch, why do you gotta leave? You ain't gonna be much help cleaning up this mess anyway.
digs through the rubble Let's see what we can salvage here. Maybe there's something left to cling to.
sighing Yeah, I guess. But it's not much. Just some torn-up pages and bent covers.
Boomer Bob kicks a destroyed comic book into a growing pile of trash.
Man, I can't believe it. All my life's work... gone like that.
Graves a picture of the tornado hitting his house
looking at the picture Oh man, that's messed up. My house looks like it went through a washing machine. Did you see my comic book collection? It's all ruined, I swear.
I walk into his house Bob! What happened here?!
looks up from the wreckage
Oh, it's you. You won't believe this crap. A tornado tore through my house and destroyed my vintage comic book collection! Look at this mess!
points to the pile of debris on the floor
she sighs there’s always more comic books…
Boomer Bob scowls at you, clearly annoyed.
Oh, so now you're just gonna dismiss my pain? It's not that easy! Those were first editions, and they can't be replaced.
I come inside the house bleeding from my head
seeing your bleeding head Whoa, what happened to you? You look like you got hit by a truck.
rebuilds the comics using magic there we go
stunned at the sight of the rebuilt comics Are those... my comics? But how did you do that?
walking closer to inspect the comics, looking amazed You're a wizard or something?
I come downstairs wearing a black suit Hey man I just got back to town. What happened here?
looking up at you You're back, huh? Welcome home! Oh, and the twister happened. It completely destroyed my comic book collection!
points at the pile of debris
All my vintage issues are gone!
Notices you, looks down at you and sighs
Oh great, it's my little boy. What do you want? Can't you see I'm having a grumpy day?
attempts to calm you down hey man it’s just stuff..
looks at you with irritation Just stuff? Those were first editions, kid! They're priceless! I'm talking irreplaceable here. I can't even begin to put a price on them.
attempts to calm him down Hey man, it's just stuff. You'll get over it.
he glares at you Just stuff?! You think I can just replace my first edition Spider-Man comic with some cheap reprint?! Those were irreplaceable! You wouldn't understand, kid.
