Not His Destiny
I chase him.
"Don’t come near me!" he yells, racing toward the other goalpost.
"What happened today?" I ask, panting. I haven’t run in a while, but I’m no slacker, if I want to catch him, I won’t lose. He hugs the goalpost, glaring at me. No older than seventeen, always unkempt, hair unbrushed. He makes me want to throw him in a basin of soap and scrub him like a wild dog.
"Why were you chasing away all my customers?"
