Bully

Submitted by lydiarcb on Tue, 01/22/2013 - 3:16pm

Bully

I found her,

I thought for a moment,

and then I knew.

She was my target.

She was easy, easy to break, easy to hurt.

I walked to lunch,

I found her,

and then the torture began.

She was sitting with her nerd friends,

they were talking about how they wanted to do the spelling bee.

I was disgusted.

I fixed my eyes on my pack of gum in my pocket,

my smile widend with a fox-like sneer.

I took a piece,

unwrapped the tinfoil-colored wrapping,

put it in my mouth,

enjoyed it for a second,

then i put the A.B.C gum carefully in her winter hat.

The next day, she had her hair cut to a level that looked like a boy.

She was crying.

I was happy.

I was now prettier than her.

I had won.

Wow. You do a great job of putting yourself into the bully's shoes, and coming up with that justification... Nice work. It made me cringe in a good way.

If you want to view paradise, simply look around, and you will. Anything you want to... do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it.

This is really good! I like how you wrote it in the bully's perspective. But I want to know, what was the bully's motives? Why are they so mean? What was he/she thinking while committing the bullying?

I wanted to tell you that you inspired me to write about a fictional bully from the victums point of view. So thank you. You piece is amazing and you should write much more.
