 Black Panther, Uprising. Written by Ronald L. Smith. Narrated by Dion Graham. T'Challa couldn't stop thinking about barbecue. Not just any old barbecue, but a stuffed sandwich dripping with tangy sauce and a glass of sweet tea to wash it all down. A hot bowl of southern mac and cheese would be nice too. Maybe even a corn dog. Instead, he stared at the plate of food in front of him. Leafy green vegetables, freshly peeled plantains, a bowl of cola nuts, and a few slices of flatbread. He wasn't too impressed. Last year, he had spent the summer in Alabama with his friends Zeke and Sheila and had eaten so much southern food, he was now craving it. He sighed. His trainer, Themba, had been putting him through his paces for a week straight. T'Challa felt like he'd never worked out so hard before in his life. Five miles every morning followed by core work in a cool-down period using comedic yoga, which is all about centering yourself through breathing exercises. This was a reward of sorts after such a hard session, and T'Challa always came away from his workouts refreshed and calm. He tried some of the plantains, chewing thoughtfully and savoring the taste. When he was interrupted by a knock at his door, T'Challa paused. Look at that bee. No one came near the Prince of Wakanda's residence without close inspection. Whoever was on the other side had already been vetted by his guards. That was certain. T'Challa opened the door and was met with a smiling face. Embaco, what are you doing here? Huh? Embaco asked, practically bowling T'Challa over on the way in. Do I need a special invitation to see the Prince? T'Challa closed the door and shook his head. He and Embaco were the best of friends and had been since they were little kids, but their friendship wasn't always sunshine and roses. It was put to the test a while back when the two boys visited America for the first time. Embaco had fallen under the sway of a charismatic student named Gemini Jones and his gang, The Skulls. T'Challa soon found out that they were more than just a street gang. They were a secret society operating out of their school and trying to summon dark magic. What followed was a nightmarish adventure that ended in a deadly confrontation with a supernatural entity. It took T'Challa a while to forgive Embaco for his part in all of it, but they soon became friends again and had left their previous dust-up in the pack. Sample complete. Ready to continue?
