15. Short
-----
"Come on munchkin boy, try and get it!"
His shin is just in the right place that I could kick it, really hard, but I don't. Instead, I try to reach up and grab it, only to fall onto the ground. Damn it, I hate being short!
"Hey, munchkin boy, what's the matter?"
"Too short?"
Their laughter echoes even now in my hollow tin head, and I grit my teeth and stroke the handle of my ax.
After I kill Elpha—The Witch, I'm going after those boys before I get my heart…
Then I'll show them who's short when I hack off their legs and leave them there to suffer.
