ET- Football Kick

  The players moved with Michael, and E.T.’s little telepathic self observed that Michael needed to relax, needed to do something special with all body parts coordinated for one split second, during which the full internal power-thrust could manifest. A double beam of mental equilibrium shot forth from the tel-entity, and hit Michael in the knees, from which it spiraled through his body, adjusting each joint and muscle in a single perfect flex, as Michael brought his arcing foot to the ball.

  “. . . hasn’t got any dynamite in his kick . . . kiccup . . .”

  KA-BLAMMMMMMM

  “Munsterweich, look at that kick! Look!”

  The ball was lifting at spaceship velocity and hurtling down field, over the heads of the two waiting receivers, over the goalposts and out over the stone wall surrounding the stadium, where it disappeared from view.

  “Put that boy’s name on the first team roster, Munsterweich.”
