It's a good "balance of terror" tale. No one knows how to bully quite like someone who was bullied, that's for sure.

Thank you for the comment! You're right, people who were bullied know exactly where to press down hard.

Evolution in the works, here! We must be a out evolving, bettering ourselves, growing, becoming "persons."

To me, this is what this is about. Of course, Rome wasn't built in a day, neither was a mature human being.

Very well done.

Thank you very much for the lovely message! Building up to something better is a great source of hope for me in all sorts of aspects of life, so I'm glad it resonated.

Despite the common advice to "just ignore them and they'll stop" (my parents' approach), most bullies are only ever intimidated by the kids who fight back. So much of it is about intimidation and control, and once they've lost that, they tend to give up.

I've never found that tactic much use either, which I think is why I gave Tim the option to do something about it.

Good entry. I am curious to know what comes of their camaraderie in the future.
