Chapter 1

Titus awoke to a loud clap of thunder. He shot out of bed like he was fired from a cannon. For some reason thunder and lightning absolutely terrified him. This obviously made him the but of many jokes at the orphanage. He let out a yawn before going back to bed. He would need a good night rest for tomorrow.

On the first day of every year another kid was "graciously" let into the orphanage. In the orphanage this child would have food, warmth and wedgies to spare. All the orphans crowded around the front door just waiting for the fresh meat to arrive. So was Titus, not because he was mean spirited but because he was excited to no longer be the "Greenie". The door opened to show a smiling counselor and a scruffy five foot five teenager with a neck beard, a bowler cap, and a noticeable limp. Titus was both gleeful and empathetic. This kid looked like easy prey, this would get razor and his cronies off his back, but he also knew that this kids life was about to become a living hell. The counselor left the room so that the kids could "get to know each other". Razor looked down at the kid with a malicious smile on, "Hello Greenie" he said evilly. The new kid smiled back at Razor and calmly said "Don't call me Greenie, my name is Grover Underwood and don't you forget it". Despite his dimunitive appearence Titus sensed an ancient and powerful strength in him. It seemed Razor did as well as he took a small step back from Grover.
