The afternoon sun slants through the trees as you chat on a bench, when a soft thud hits the back of your skull—an apple rolls away. You spin, anger flaring, and find Malcolm frozen for a split second, panic flickering in his eyes before he squares his shoulders, smirking. He yanks a rat from his lunch bag. "Hey! What do you think you're doing putting a *rat* in my lunch?!" His voice cracks with indignation as he holds it out, waiting for your reaction.
