One pic, one story || Fly-boy KHALID

Just like every other kid in his neighborhood, Khalid attended the public high school around his block. He lived with his disciplinarian dad, his cautious mom, a nerdy elder sister and a cute set of twins who were born after him.

His life has been planned out for him right from his very first appearance into the world. "He will become a medical doctor just like his father", Khalid's dad would proudly say all the time. These words became a phrase that was every single day.

It was a stressful day at school and Khalid was more than happy to burst out of the school premises. As he sluggishly made his way to the open gates, few of his friends accosted his and the following conversation ensured.

"Hey Khalid, heading home already?", a blue eyed, brown skinned Ben asked his friend
"Yeah man. I just feel really tired. It's best I get home soon to rest and probably find a solution to this nauseous feeling I'm having"

"But you look fine, bro", Tim, another teenage boy just about Khalid's age inquested. "We are heading to Martin's place. Don't you wanna come?" Tim continued

"I'm not so sure guys. What if I pass out and ruin your party? Or what if I do something dumb? You guys are fine without me, y'all should go on without me"

Laughingly, Robert said, "And who told you it was going to be a party at Martin's?"
"We are only heading there to unleash our song writing spirits. Martin got a recording studio set up in their basement with the help of his brother", Lawrence finished huskily.
"Just come along, Khalid. It's going to be more fun than just lazing around at home", Ben requested while pulling his friend's shirt, beckoning him to tag along.

Khalid ended up at Martin's with his other friends. Prior to that the young man conditioned his friends that he would leave if he wasn't comfortable or interested anymore.
Few moment later, Khalid snooped around the trashy parts of Martin's basement while the other boys were busy with music. He found a box of junks and in the process got pricked by a syringe. This made him feel weird but he didn't pay much attention to it.

At home, Khalid had dinner with his family. His parents both had morning shifts at the hospital so they were present for dinner. Quickly, Khalid finished his meal and was off to bed, still feeling weird. Unable to shut his eyes and sleep, Khalid decided to stay up with the hopes of falling asleep without fighting it.

It's midnight after four hours of staying up, Khalid is still wide awake in quietness of the evening. "What is going on with me? Why can't I sleep?". He goes to the restroom to wash his face and then he began to react to the syringe that poked him earlier.

Momentarily, he transformed to a flying boy in a cool superhero suit and found his way quietly to the spacious roof of his house. It was like he was controlled by some uncontrollable force to get out of his room. There he sat and marveled at his change while watching the still busy city below him.
