from the ground up

(Previously titled: I’ll Treat You Better)“This here is an engine for a scooter I built out of old phone and computer parts. Here’s a teddy bear with a voice recorded message and a simulated heartbeat. This is an old toy car I suped up to drive by voice command, and that’s a solar powered potato gun.” He stopped, looking up at Tony with awaiting and wide eyes.“That’s cool kid the voice to drive- wait, did you say a solar powered potato gun?” “Yup! With it running on solar energy, I get a faster average firing rate than if I were to design it to shoot the potato’s manually.” The kids still smiling, all confidence and prowess. Tony blinks.“A solar powered potato gun.” He repeats. “Well that’s a new one.” He picks up the plastic car. “This car though, this could get you somewhere, kid.” He says. ***Or Tony's inability to get his mind off this Harley kid leads him down a steep road of life altering events. Oh yeah, and Tony suddenly has two very small and very impressionable children.
