Hatred

His name was Chris, and the world hated him. It hated his poetry, what he wore, his personality, his black hair, the cuts on his arm, his feelings and everything else you can imagine. Chris had been born to a strongly conservative family who lived in Wyoming. His family believed that being different was a sin. They thought that standing out in the smallest was a reason to be looked down on. This was the logic of most Wyoming residents, so naturally Chris was picked on and teased by everyone, everywhere he went. And Chris was aware of it, too. He didn’t necessarily wanted to change it, but at the same time, living the way he did was not what he wanted. The kids at Lills Senior High School would call him, “Goth Boy” or “The Wyoming Vampire.” Chris soon after made sure they would regret it though, beating the shit out of every single one of them. This awarded him a trip to his principal’s office. Robert Carlton has seen his share of misfits come and go in his fifteen years at Lills, but never one so broken, so pissed off at everything. Chris would never say why he had hurt the most recent child, only how. Mr. Carlton had tried everything he could to stop Chris from hurting other students, but nothing worked. Carlton didn’t want to expel a child with autism, but he couldn’t keep having more and more students with broken bones because of him. He simply didn’t know what to do with this kid.
