I remember how fun it was.  I’d lead the charge and kick and stab.  My army of friends really just watched.  I fought that dragon tooth and claw for days on end.
The day I stopped was when I got called to the principal’s office.  Linda, the principal, made me face the dragon, battered from me alone.  Strange thing was, the hatred and glee I felt out on the playground wasn’t there then.  Instead was a blank feeling in my head and the swooping sickness in my gut, as if I had just swallowed a bunch of blood.  I think that meant something.  The blood was pain, his and mine.  His was real, mine was all in my head.  I had done this and I could have stopped it.
I can’t really remember seeing him again, and I never could remember his name.  Only the cast on his leg from my beatings plays in my mind.  I wish I could go back and undo that part of my past.  But the past cannot be undone.  History’s chains bind us too tightly.
Sense a theme? Good. There is one. It all makes sense in the end.
3/5
Last one for tonight. Two more to go. They're the good ones.

I've had that kind-of happen to me before. I can relate, at least.
