(S30) PT 2 - Alternate History

[Vorshayla]

There wouldn't be a life for PickSix II if he didn't pursue football.  He was bred for greatness, he was engineered for success.  As the offspring of a football player who's career was cut short by injury he was herded for a life on the gridiron at a very early age.  Maybe Sr wanted to live through his son, but all that knowledge and genetics definitely gave Jr several pushes in the right direction.  Since he could walk PickSix II was always around the game, from watching games with his father on Sundays, to playing in pop warner as a kid.  PickSix II only knows football, and could not image a life where it was completely out of his life as a player.  It gives him no greater joy than to step in front of receivers thinking they have an easy catch only for the ball to end up going back the other way, or when he lays out his body for his team to stop the pass by any means neccessary.  

PickSix II is sure than an alternate reality exists, it just happens to be one where he doesn't as he is living his best life playing football and wouldn't have it any other way.
