I HATE my nickname. Other people have such interesting nicknames, like Kid Blink and Racetrack and even Skittery! Sure, our names are for our own protection, for evading bulls and escaping our pasts. Some of us just fell into ours. Like me. Literally.
But couldn't they come up with something more…I don't know…pizzazzy? Like…like…hell, I don't know…. Cayenne or…or SOMETHING! I mean, my name gives off such a sense of helplessness and naivete it's ridiculous! I feel like screaming "I DO HAVE A BRAIN!" but I think people might look at me weird.
I mean, really, who names their friend 'Mush'!

I wish I owned Newsies, but I obviously don't. This happens to be my first 100 word one shot! Yay!
