A Key Event

The biggest and most key event in the whole series is one night, a blurb from the book. “One night, in a science/computer lab...somewhere in Ashore, California, a computer developer named Gerald Jubnought (jub-nut) was on his computer, working on his boss’s job, doing bills and taxes, working on new software, and laying out blueprints for their new bathroom. Gerald was even working double-time to get a raise and more money by doing work he wasn’t asked to do. That’s all because he was in HUGE financial trouble by his local bank. He’s supposed to pay $507 for his rent each month but he once was sick and paid $209. This enraged the bank that he paid this small. He was soon sued in court and practically robbed of $5,902 after the sue. The bank was going to get even more if he couldn’t pay $2,985 in the next week. He even only made $200 per hour and… there were only 5 days left of the week.

So he decided to work his double-time and extra hard work. He could possibly make the money, but needed more for food, various bills that the bank was actually continuously sending to him, and for his rent. His eyelids started to weaken and get heavier and heavier and heavier and, the next time he blinked, he never opened his eyes again that night. He was just too tired. As he dreamed off, he then rolled over and bumped into his coffee. It spilled most of it and the drink went as far as the end of the room and the coffee hit the power’s control line! The power overloaded and it zapped the lights! They flashed on and off and one light was unfortunately above a cracked shelf with a beaker holding a chemical that was found in the sewer. This lab was temporary holding that chemical until further notice.

Then, the light dropped a piece of casing! It fell straight onto the crack and, the shelf BROKE! The chemical fell and the cork popped right off and the chemical’s liquid spilled into the sewers. The water current pushed the chemical left as it should of went right, right when it should of gone left, and straight when it should of turned some way. There was a leak in a sprinkler earlier in the lab and it was mostly fixed, not fully. Thats where, unfortunately, Gerald was, below the leak. The chemical got there and… spilled onto him and his computer. The two seperate pieces of chemical then mixed...”. This is what gives Pixelator his powers.
