The Tiny Tank [TTT]

So, guys, this is going to be what I hope is a good series of shorts of an M0 Smoky-Wasp that winds up in our world. Where do we go from there? Let's find out.

 

 

The Tiny Tank

 

Episode 1: Everything’s bigger…

 

It was pouring outside, and a little boy sat at his desk before his computer. His fingers danced across the keyboard, pressing buttons here and there. In his boredom, he stumbled across a new game, one he thought would be interesting enough to break his boredom on this rainy morning.

 

Among his little grunts, groans and “accidental” slang versions of curses every time he died, the rain pitter-pattered against the glass windows, which didn’t help his situation. He’d much rather be outside, playing on his new bike, a bright red one which he was given last week for his birthday.

 

The new game he found was named Tanki Online, one that didn’t need downloading, which seemed to impress him, so he thought he’d give it a try. He loved the 3D graphics and easy controls. He sped across the map with his little Smoky-Wasp. He’d just gotten away with the enemy flag and was on his was back to his base for the capture.

 

“Max! Time to go to school!” his mother called.

 

“Okay! Coming, Mom!” he groaned.

 

Sadly, in his high-speed escapade, a player on the enemy team had caught up with him, and easily destroyed him with a turret that seemed to spit flames.

 

“Oh, cheeseballs!” he scowled and forgetting to shut off his computer, he rushed out of his room, grabbing his bag along the way and accidentally stepping on his cat’s tail.

 

“Sorry, Benjamin!” he apologized on his way down the stairs, over the cat’s hissing.

 

The sound of the front door closing indicated they were leaving, while Max’s battle carried on.

 

It wasn’t long until another enemy had found him again and made quick work of destroying his little tank. At the same time, a lightning bolt struck the antennae on the roof, surges of electricity shorted out the monitor with ease. The screen turned black, with a loud ‘crack’ and a puff of smoke like a failed magician’s magic trick.

 

In the midst of the event, a little magic had happened.

 

First it looked transparent, but then solidified. Max’s tank had respawned!

 

On his desk…

 

Only two inches tall.

 

The tank was confused.

 

Where it was…

 

it didn’t know.

 

He remained in place, then looked to his right, and before him, was a window the size of Sandbox! He saw a mug, with pens, pencils and sharpie stuck out of it, with no clue what they are. Beneath him, sat an open notebook, filled with blue ink math notes of how to add triple digit numbers.

 

What was strange to him were these new senses he never had before.

 

The sheets of paper felt strange under his tracks, the sound of rain hitting glass. Before, he was only a bunch of codes, consisting of 1s and 0s, constantly changing.

 

He drove slowly forward.

 

Carefully, he drove between the bindings of the notebook and onto the desk, which felt cold and smooth. He looked to his left, and if he could, he’d have let out the loudest gasp that was ever gasped, in the history of gasping! From the desk, the other side of the room appeared to by miles upon miles away!

 

Normally he’d fill a room, now he’s as small as a child’s play-toy.

 

Get ready little tank - you’ve a long journey ahead of you.
