The Boy

He was a good boy, or that’s what everyone thought he was.This boy was silent, but he was also deadly, he was capable of things that people haven’t even imaged. He was pushed to the edge by the constant bullying and he’s inner “demon” came out. He took matters into his own hands and he committed a terrible crime. “Why did you do it?” asked the keeper.
      “Do you know how it feels to be bully, day in and day out, and having people in your ear telling how bad you look and how you will never be good enough?” Said the boy as he looked at the other side of the room.
     “Do you know that there are many other ways you could have went about this, I know it’s tough to get picked on and I know kids and teens can be really mean now a days, but what you did was completely out of line.”
       The boy bitterly laughed,“Yeah, talking our problems out and giving each other hugs will surely fix a problem won't it?” The keeper frowned at the boy while the boy kept a straight face. The keeper was taken back by the boy’s sarcasticness and didn't know what to say. Then the boy started to talk again.
     “I wanted them to suffer the way they made me suffer, I wanted them to feel the pain that I feel everyday of my life.”
“You think that was worth losing your freedom? You do understand you're in serious trouble and probably will be punished for a while.”
    “It was totally worth it.” The keeper stared at the boy in disbelief. This teenage boy had intrigued him and scared him at the same time.
     “Okay we're done here, I'm going step out for a few minutes and when I come back I'm going to be taking you to where you will be staying.”The keeper walked out and the other keepers who were watching the whole incident from the window were still watching . They were all fascinated with the boy. It was something about the boy that made their skin crawl, yet they were drew more into him.
     The keepers stepped into a conference room,but one of the keepers decided to stay to watch over the boy. After about 15 minutes of discussion the keeper who was in the room with the boy went back to the room. When the keeper got back to the room he found that the keeper who stayed behind was knocked unconscious and the boy was nowhere to be found. The keeper called everyone into the room and they all were thinking the same thing.

I was inspired to write this piece because it was a school assignment. We had to make a ambiguous mircofiction story and i thought of a story of bullying because i was bullied when i was young.
