Your face turns red as your anger builds.
The kid looks at you quizzically, not sure what you expect.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH THAT HURTS? That is absolutely
INAPPROPRIATE behavior, young man! That is RUDE, INCONSIDERATE, and
IMMATURE!" you yell, waving your arms to add to the effect. The kid
cringes.
"You better be glad that I'm so MILD MANNERED, and that you don't
have any BROKEN RIBS right now!" The kid starts to cry.
"If I catch you throwing rocks at me AGAIN, I will PERSONALLY make
sure that you are PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO DO IT AGAIN!!!!!" With that,
you take a deep breath, and your face colour returns to normal.
The kid is still sobbing. Suddenly he lets out a skull piercing
wail. When you open you eyes when he's finished, he's waving at something
behind you. You turn to see his older brother running towards you borht.
From a distance you can see that he's at least a head taller than you.
"Crud..." you say, turn and dash up the river. Ahead you see a
willow tree you can climb for safety. You go for it.
