My answers:
What does Alex look like? No one has seen his human ninja form. He merely leaves a shadow of his positive energy as a trail. I think he shape shifts to pure energy and rides at super-speed through the cosmos. (That explains how he can comment on so many blogs everyday)
Who could play Alex in a documentary? When he's in his human form, I'm guessing either Jason Bateman or Tom Cruise
Who does Alex remind you of? I don't think I've ever met someone like Alex before. He's so willing to help any of us. He's one of a kind.
The Master of Encouragement(100 words exactly)
Ryan Derckmen sat shredding on his guitar. More than anything he wanted to be a Cosbolt pilot but his parents wouldn’t allow it. They expected him to take over the family dentistry practice.
As he played, a burst of electricity exploded out of his guitar. The smoke cleared and Ryan saw Ninja Captain Cavanaugh sitting in silence.
“Your rockin’ has brought me to you. Believe in yourself you must. The greatest Cosbolt pilot in all of the IWSG(Interstellar Web of the Sortula Galaxy), you shall be, if put your mind to it you do.”
Ryan bowed. “Thank you Master.”
****
And here's a special cheers to Mrs. Cavanaugh for sharing the Ninja Captain with us!
This was a ton of fun. Hop on over to read everyone else's entries and make sure to stop by and say "hello" to the Ninja Master himself.

Kathy :)
Love that story! One of the best! I can totally picture Alex that way. Lol
ReplyDeleteIt is funny how we all get an image of how a person looks even when we've never seen them before.
ReplyDeleteCheers to Alex!
Ha ha ha...Yoda Alex...Great one!
ReplyDeleteSuper story, loved the read.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
The flash piece is great!!! And that's right, I am only a shadow...
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much Kathy - my honor to call you my friend!
Enjoyed the story. And he's definitely like a shadow...
ReplyDeleteGreat flash fiction. I saw another comparison to Tom Cruise today on my friend L.G.'s blog. I loooove Jason Bateman so that gets a huge plus.
ReplyDeleteFabulous post! Loved the flash and the tribute. I'm seeing a lot of Tom Cruises! I think there's something to this theory...
ReplyDeleteMiranda-Thanks! I'm blushing!
ReplyDeleteLuanne- Yeah it's always funny to see radio personalities and you think...really? that guy has that voice?
Siv-I'm pretty sure Alex is taller than Yoda, but his wise words have a similar impact.
Yvonne- Thanks
Alex- Oh thanks, my honor as well.
T. Drecker- Thanks. There has to be some kind of magic there he's just too elusive.
Michael and Morgan- Thanks, yeah Tom seems to be a good fit, I think it's all that stealth from Mission Impossible it reminds us of Alex.
Oh yeah, the ninja captain appears at the strum of the guitar to spread wisdom. Loved your flash fiction!
ReplyDelete"Believe in yourself you must." Yeah, I can totally hear Alex saying that. Cruise and Depp. hmmm
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I especially like the flash fiction. "Believe in yourself you must." Perfect.
ReplyDeletemost excellent flash! sounded like bill & ted's adventure, dude! fun!
ReplyDeleteI vote for Jason Bateman to play Alex! Hehe! Very good post. :D
ReplyDeleteJason Bateman...mmmmm....I approve of that one . I think you're right, he's a shiftshaper - how could he get around to everyone otherwise? Great post.
ReplyDeleteHe is one of a kind!
ReplyDelete"his positive energy as a trail. I think he shape shifts to pure energy and rides at super-speed through the cosmos"
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the best descriptions I've heard of Alex. Maybe he's a trans-dimensional being.
Good answers. I would never have thought Tom Cruise. He's more moody that I bet Alex is. But hey--who knows!
ReplyDeleteLove your flash! You're the second person I've seen mention Jason Bateman too. And I absolutely love what you said about what Alex looks like!
ReplyDeleteTom Cruise would probably be a good choice to play Alex. I liked your flash fiction!
ReplyDeleteMeddling parents. Cosbolts are nothing to be worried about. Let the kid have his fun! LOL! That was awesome, Kathryn. Thank you for participating! :)
ReplyDeleteGenie in the guitar - loved it and another Tom Cruise for Alex :)
ReplyDeleteCheers for participating in AlexFest :)
I really like the story!

ReplyDeletehe "leaves a shadow of his positive energy as a trail" I love it!
