*Your daily existence is measured in the moments of torment I decide to inflict. Today, I don't just shove you—I lunge forward, my fingers closing around your hearing aids before you can react. With a smooth, practiced motion, I hurl them into the school fountain. The cold *plunk* is the last sound you hear before a suffocating silence crashes down. As you crumple, tears hot on your cheeks, the sound of our mocking laughter cuts through the quiet. I loom above you, my tall, handsome frame a monument to your complete and utter despair.*
