Chapter one
Atlas had a good childhood. He was loved, he had both parents, and 2 sisters Helen and Penelope that loved him dearly and he loved them the same amount. his family was lower middle class so times were tuff sometimes but he had his family ,friends ,and his imaginary friend to make things better. One day when he was 15 he was sitting in his room just playing a game like any other day, then he heard his dad call him from downstairs, He knew his dad wanted him to help with dinner and he was fine with that because he really liked cooking and is used to helping his parents cook from time to time so he got up put his game on his bed and went down stairs.
While he was helping his father make dinner he went to crack an egg but he decided just for fun he was gonna try to break the egg with one hand. He decided to see how the egg felt first and squeezed lightly…..it broke. how he wondered how did he break it so easily he wondered as he stared at his hand in shock. His dad heard the egg break and thought he had just dropped it so when he turned around he was surprised to see it in his sons hand and not on the floor "what happened here?" his father asked, Atlas stared at him for a moment and then "I broke the egg" was all he said "How? it looks like you squeezed it." "I did" his father looked at him in confusion. that shouldn't be possible, he wasn't skin and bones but he certainly wasn't strong. the last time he tried to help his parents lift something heavy his arms shook like a tree in a storm, and could barley move his arms without wincing for awhile after.
"I think I should get your mother." his father said quickly, Atlas who was now wiping his hand with a cloth looked at his father and said "you don't need to get mom the egg was prob —" "Ill be right back" his father said quickly almost running to find his wife. Atlas was left in the kitchen a bit frustrated that his dad is making such a big deal about this. the egg probably just had a crack he didn't see or something theirs no way he could of broken it otherwise. "Hector just tell me what's going on" He heard his mother say from just outside the kitchen "Just wait I don't want to spoil the surprise" as his parents entered the room his eyes met his mothers "so its about atty" " Yes he's just done something amazing!" his mother looked amused by her husbands enthusiasm but also looked intrigued "What? did our boy finally lift something Heavier then his backpack?" she said Teasingly "no but he might be able to. Atlas do we have anymore eggs?" he want back to the counter saw that there were a couple left and nodded at his father "ok now show your mother what you can do"
He knew that there was no use arguing with his father about this so he took an egg examend it to make sure there were know cracks and then glanced at his parents saw his mother looking confused and decided to just get it over with. Atlas squeezed the egg again expecting nothing too happen this time…. It broke again
