《The Guy Named Harrison: Book One》54
Advertisement
And that was because Harrison made his return to the field. Fans cheered as he jogged from the locker room to the practice field in his blue practice jersey.
Captain America was back.
He wore the new Vicis ZERO1 helmet, as well as the Q-collar. After receiving the new helmet, a few other Panthers players looked into it and were now wearing the helmet that could change the game of football.
Carrie watched him join his teammates on the field with a smile on her face. It was the first time he put on a helmet and pads since his injury in Chicago. And he did it. He made a full, safe, recovery from his concussion. It had been so hard on him to be confined to all these precautions. Carrie gave him credit. He didn't push things, and went off everything Ryan and the doctors said.

After practice, Harrison was the last one off the field. Today, he didn't stop to sign any autographs. But the fans didn't seem to care. They were happy to see their beloved linebacker back in action.
As he jogged towards the locker room, everyone in the crowd stood up and chanted his name. As he passed by, he saw several people in Captain America costumes. He couldn't help but smile under his helmet.
He found Carrie standing just outside the training facility with her notebook and recorder in hand. This would be the first time he answered questions from her since his injury.
She smiled as he jogged over. "How was practice?"
He pulled his helmet off. "Pretty good."
"Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Go for it."
Carrie started her recorder. "Harrison, coming off your concussion, you've taken some steps to help prevent another one. Can you tell us about what you've done?"

"Yeah. I tried a new helmet from a company called Vicis. The helmet specializes in helping to prevent concussions and other head injuries. It consists of four layers, with the outermost layer absorbing the impact of a hit. It then sends the shock through the entire helmet to limit the pressure on one specific spot and to help prevent concussions."
"I also tried out a Q-collar. It's designed to help the brain swell up to the skull during an impact to keep from rattling around inside the skull. That's how concussions occur."
She nodded. "You've received quite a warm welcome back by Panthers fans. First when you were on the sidelines against the Falcons, and now making your return to practice. What's it like to have a fan base supporting you as a player this much?"
He looked around at all the fans. "It's amazing. I can't thank all these fans enough for their support. It means so much to know this many people care about my health and safety, and to know that I'm okay. I also can't thank them enough for all the well wishes I received over the past few weeks."
"Thanks Harrison."
"You're welcome," he shot back with a smile before heading into the locker room to the 'HARRISON' chant following him.

Later that afternoon, Luke came over for dinner and to study film on the Jets, a team they hadn't played in a few years.
Harrison finished cooking dinner as Carrie and Luke sat at the counter beside him. "So did you ever talk to Shannon?"
He shook his head. "You didn't!?"
Harrison turned around. "What are you waiting for man. I don't want to help you walk over there with your walker."
Luke couldn't help but laugh with Harrison and Carrie. "You are a such a baby," she teased.

"Stop it."
"We had this conversation a month ago. And you still didn't talk to her?"
He bit his lip. "Because she's with somebody else."
"Well stop being a spectator and get your ass over there and talk to your girl," Harrison said from the other side of the counter.
"We can go together. I'll hold your hand," Carrie suggested with a smile.
"You guys are impossible."
"Luke, just make the attempt to talk to her. The worst she could say is no. She needs to know you still care about her, but she isn't going to be your entire life. You love football and to make this work, she has to accept the time you spend away from her, but also accept that you're going to balance your life between her and football."
"You should listen to Carrie," Harrison suggested.
"Yeah, I know what I'm talking about."

Binary Progression: Torrented Edition
This was ment to be the self-published 'real' book of Binary Progression; turns out there isn't much of a market for this kind of story... that and it sucked! As such I am writing another (more successful) series but this was just laying about my book folder so I'm posting it here, please forget the fact I said it sucked, pretty please. JohnWillStab is the poorly-named shut-in on a quest to get into MMOs after a failed online career backfired leaving him uninterested in his speciality, strategy games. He discovers an old, abandoned game with an active, albeit very eccentric, community of no more than five-hundred players on a single server maintained by an unknown individual. Unbeknownst to him, the game he found is more than just an ordinary WoW clone and after many adventures with his group, they make the terrifying discovery that after two full volumes this story becomes a god damn isekai. What’s worse, JohnWillStab, the number-one edgelord on the server is somehow ending up in positions of power despite literally being an undead rogue with evil magic tentacles! Will John’s edginess ruin the isekai? Why does the doctor have the highest kill-count in the game? Is 👑 really a valid character you could use for your username? Can the chef perform an exorcism? Why is God asking John for chicken nuggets? Really, he could just spawn them in - in fact, we saw him spawning food in before!

Dip$h!+s in Space
An eccentric comedy novel (that thinks it's a TV show) about space, and the Dipsh!+s that end up stranded in it. This hyper-self-aware comedy of stupid proportions, centers around Captain William T Lawg (no relation) and his adventures as a guy who managed to afford a refitted soft-top ice-cream truck, in space. Explore the universe with his trusty crew of valiant randos. Marley, the tech-bro, stoner spacebunny, who just wants to get away from his home world and the bullies it harbors. Duffy, the plump and sassy female mechanic, who has had every job in existence totaling far more years than possible. Roy, the frigging fabulous, flamboyant android, and former spy…or possibly current spy. (dun dun, daaaa!) And lastly, but certainly leastly, that other chick the captain keeps trying to bang. Ride with the crew of the notorious Tast-E-Chill, to a world of wonder that a lot of other space travelers have already been before, but probably not Lawg, so it's still exciting. This satirical joke on itself and every sci-fi trope ever to exist, will be sure to either thrill you or disappoint you, because COMEDY…IS…SUBJECTIVE! With a crew of 3-10 and an IQ of also probably 3-10, The captain putters along to uncharted lands, where history, loot, drama, innuendos of the sexual verity, and various Technicolor hoes shall surely be waiting, usually with some form of trap. Each season brings new and interesting crewmen, like: Menace: the adorable genderless frog-child-thing with the heart of gold and the dialogue vocabulary of a slightly trained parrot. Greg: the 8 foot tall, ancient, thermonuclear, semi-retired alien overlord who just wants to prove he still has a purpose…and also to rule the galaxy. Izzy: a 3rd generation, age-reversed reboot, accidental clone of her own mother/sister/older self, who happens to be Greg's daughter-in-law…and much, much more. Prepare yourself for shallow adventure, moderately-to high offensive dialogue, and overwhelmingly childish scenarios. Tag along as the crew battles, fierce enemies, lack of food and survival tape, and occasionally their own incompetence. Teen Romance, current politics, subtlety, dignity, this sucker has none of those, and it darn well knows it. Raise the sails and grab the rails as a bunch of dipsh!+s find themselves...IN SPACE. (Roll dramatic tapering credits, to royalty free trumpet music)
