One time, on Halloween night while we were trick-or-treating, some bullies threatened to beat up my little sister. I was fierce, all 5 feet and 110 lbs. of me. "If you try to touch her, I'll beat you into a pulp," I promised.
When my character Lewis has a chance to defend his little brother, he grabs a big stick, while one of his attackers pulls a knife. He says to himself, I will fight- no rules, no mercy- until Patrick escapes in the forest. To the men, Jack and Kut, he taunts, baring his teeth, "Aren't you afraid of a desperate man with a big, sharp stick? Let this rip up your skin if you try to touch me!" Kut's knife threatened to slit a nice space between Lewis's ribs. Jack's branch whooshed as it tried to brain him.
Well, the bullies left me and my sister alone.
