Story
[Still a WIP]
Riley only half recalls the incident that cost him sight in his right eye. He remembers being on a running track in the rain. They were training like they did every Tuesday afternoon. The rain wasn't intense and there wasn't any storm forcast. He remembers a bright flash and searing pain freezing all of his limbs, then darkness.He would come to shortly after aching all over as anxious parents fretted and other children yelled. He knows he went to the hospital but the details are a little hazy. It didn't really matter he supposes.
He's read that an incident like that can alter who you are a bit but honestly no one stays the same as they were when they were 11 so who would notice. His parents might recall him being less straight forward before the accident but really they were just relived his small frame had survived the overload and worried about his partial loss of vision, not that he seemed too phased by it.
11 year old Riley delighted in the attention recieved upon his return to the schoolyard. After all who could top being a survivor of a lightning strike? He wore the scars with pride and would cntinue to as he grew older. He was an average student, although struggled with reading. He was right handed prior to the accident but finding his arm to be stiff some days post the strike he would become ambidexterous although still prefers his right for writing.
