My Goalkeeping System

What is worse than being the worst team in the world? For Dave Richards that was a very easy but heartbreaking question to answer, a goalkeeper who performed poorly between the sticks, he was still available as a first-choice goalkeeper because Unique FC didn't have any other goalkeeper. He was slow on his feet, couldn't jump properly and worst of all, he didn't know how to hold the ball properly. The only way that Unique FC was able to survive taking in a massive goal-fest sometimes was because of the extra effort they put in their defence. After a terrible match in which Dave wasn't able to make any saves and also made a lot of mistakes, he was seriously scolded by the managerial staff and almost received a beating from his angry teammates. He got home sad and also angry at all those who told him he looked like his grandfather and would therefore inherit his goalkeeping skills. He discovered a hidden door below his room and when he got down there the only thing he could see was a black box. He found the box to be quite familiar and when he opened it the last thing he saw was a bright white light when the light was gone he could see something in his field of vision. [ Welcome Dave ] [ You have activated the Goalkeeping system ] A female voice read out the messages. This is a story about how an ordinary man who didn't know his place between the sticks went from nothing to pro and beyond that.

The Cops

Dave entered the house to see Emma standing in front of the stairs with a questioning look on her face.

"I told you to stay in the room." He said as he walked toward the couch and crashed on it.

"What's up with you and your dad?" Emma asked, moving closer to him. "You never told me you guys were like this."

"I don't want to talk about it." He said, turning his gaze away from her.

"Why? You seemed happy to see him at first and then your mood suddenly changed." She said as she walked closer to him and slowly sat down beside him.

"I was happy because I thought he was here for another reason but it turns out he was here for the same reason he visited me on a few occasions for," Dave said.

"What reason?"

"Didn't you hear him? He clearly said he wasn't here for me."

"He didn't say that, Dave," Emma said, shaking her head.

"You won't understand," Dave said, sinking deep into the couch.

"Then make me understand," Emma said, pulling herself closer to look over him.
