"Get away from me, freak!"
A boy stopped in his track, his hand held tightly to wooden cart with newspapers he distributed around the neighborhood everyday.
The six-year-old sighed a little and refused to look at the neighborhood's bully in the eyes.
His hair and eyes were dark brown and his skin was slightly tan from his daily morning routine. The only odd thing was the sunglass he wore.
"I don't want to touch your papers, disgusting stuff," the bully said.
The bully, also a boy and same age, whose favorite pastime was to torture people with different looks, sounds and ethnicity.
"I got the papers from the factory every morning, Jason," the boy with sunglass said, "If you have a problem with it, talk to them."
Jason's face turned red at the other boy's words. His fists tightened and he began to walk closer.
"Listen, Harvey," he said, "I know what you are, who you really are."
Harvey's head snapped at that words, he finally turned his attention to Jason.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
Jason smiled, his eyes light up with triumph. Then, he leaned over, his face close to Harvey's.
"You're one of them, you got powers," he whispered.
It took a second or a minute for Harvey's entire being to freeze at Jason's words. His hands begin to tremble with fear.
It was 2009, the mutants were still treated with fear and contempt. It was the world's dirty little secret.
Deciding that he would not allow such secret to be revealed in the only neighbourhood that he felt safe since young, Harvey acknowledged the bully before him.
"You're right, Jason. But I'm sorry, you cannot tell anyone about this," Harvey said before he took off his sunglass.
The last thing Jason saw was darkness followed by nothingness.
ENDS.
