《The Guy Named Harrison: Book One》91
Advertisement
That's all that stood between the Panthers and another Super Bowl.
The Cowboys were on the Panthers 44-yard line with only two seconds left on the clock. The Panthers were winning 21-14. And if they scored, this NFC Championship game would be headed to overtime.
Harrison was determined to not let that happen.
His heart beat out of his chest as he stood behind the line. And he'd never felt an adrenaline rush as much as he did now. It felt like slow motion as the ball was snapped from center back to quarterback Dak Prescott who fell back in the pocket.
Harrison blitzed, but was quickly stopped by the right guard. Then he got double teamed by the right tackle. He tired his best to push by them with pure strength, but he couldn't.
He then spun to his right, and spun against until he was around the right guard and had a straight shot at the quarterback. Dak Prescott saw him coming, and tried to avoid him.
He couldn't throw the ball away. He tried to run away from Harrison. When he spun back towards midfield, that was when he made his mistake.
The linebacker had him. Harrison took him down with ease as the crowd roared. They did it! The Panthers were going to the Super Bowl!
Harrison quickly jumped to his feet and flexed his big muscles as the entire Panthers bench emptied. Players ran out onto the field, followed by the coaches.
The first player to find him was Luke Kuechly not in uniform. Although he may still have a concussion, he had no problem pushing Harrison to the ground and starting the pile.
A bunch of guys jumped on until they were pulled off by people handing them their conference championship shirts and hats. Harrison, now on his feet, pulled the grey NFC Conference Champions shirt over his head, and put the grey hat on as well.

"We're going to the Super Bowl!" Somebody shouted.
Harrison jumped up and gave Cam a chest bump. "WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!"
Coach Rivera came to congratulate them. Everyone knew it was coming and stood back when Thomas dumped all the Gatorade onto their coach.
"We're going to do that next game too!" He shouted.
Then everyone's attention turned back to Harrison. "Let's see it!"
He cleared himself enough space before doing two backflips to all his teammates cheering. It was what he did last time before they went to the Super Bowl.
Now reporters had begun to swarm them. Harrison made his way towards the small stage where he and Coach Rivera would be presented with the conference championship trophy.
Just as he was able to step up onstage, something slammed into him. That something was Carrie. She wrapped her arms around him as he picked her up.
"That was a hell of a game!"
He pressed his lips to hers. "We're going to the Super Bowl!"
"I'm so proud of you Harrison!"
"Excuse me?" Somebody butted in.
That turned out to be Luke. "I'm proud of you too Luke."
"That's better," Luke said with a teasing smile before walking away.
Harrison twirled Carrie around in his arms before kissing her once again. "We're going to the Super Bowl. I can't believe it!"
"You and the guys earned it. Now I want to see you holding the Lombardi Trophy after you win the Super Bowl."
He set her down and knelt to kiss her belly. Harrison then heard her say, "daddy's going to the Super Bowl."
Carrie helped him to his feet and he took her hand. "Come on, let's go."
She happily followed him up onto the stage where he would receive the conference championship trophy.

Monsters as Men(A good v evil story based on reincarnation in different worlds)
The Monsters have taken over the universe. With their corrupting system behind them, which they use equally for power and recruitment, no one can compare to their strength. Good has been nearly eradicated, with its god slain, and the one who picked up its Mantle tempted to evil. In contrast, the god of Evil is growing, getting stronger. Only one person can defend the world against this threat. This is the tale of the Bluejay. The magic system in this world is based on a few types of energy: Note(for Songs), Will(for Thought), Mana(for ordinary magic, because I felt like it), Spirit(for Spirit Magic), and Dominion(for Aura). This is very much a work in progress. Any suggestions are welcome. This is set in the same world as my other story, Spirits of Eternity. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
