"Well what're you goin' to do about it," teased the local bully.
"I'll go to the police," said the young man, trying to act brave.
"What're they goin' to do, slap me one on the wrists."
The young man stared at the bully. The bully had been teasing him since they were in school together. Now as young adults the bully uses him as a way to relieve his frustration. I'll get back at him someday, was what the young man always told himself but deep inside he knew he couldn't. The bully towered when next to him. He always felt small and useless.
"Well what're you going to do Lightheart," teased the bully again.
"I-I-I will force you to leave the village if you don't give it back at this instant," he studdered.
"How?"
"You should k-k-know by n-n-now that I'm s-s-secretary for the k-k-king."
"What of it?"
"W-W-Well let's just s-s-say, Franky, that your monthly payment went mysteriously missing," he said gainning courage.
"You wouldn't!"
"I can and I will if you don't give me my breifcase."
Some villagers walked by and looked at the two. This was a daily view for them. Franky Willub teasing and robbing Peter Lightheart. They could feel that something was different this time but continued on they're marry way.
"Ok P-P-Peter here you go, just p-p-please don't f-f-forget about my payment," cowered Franky handing over the breifcase.
"Never try to steal from me again. If you do your payment might go missing one of these days," warned Peter menacingly.
Franky ran off down one of the intersection's many streets. Peter slowly walked over to a park bench and sat down. His heart pounded from the excitement. He usually gave into Franky's bullying. Being mean and tough for once made some long stored adrenaline to be used. He passed his slightly tanned fingers through his dark brown, messy looking hair. When ever he stood up for himself, he didn't feel normal. He felt like a monster. A monster that could destroy everything that he cared for. He stood from his seat and walked towards the only office building in town.
