As I was walking

As I was walking

I was chewing gum. So far I had only bit myself once. I did walk past my destination too. I spit out the gum. So what if I couldn't do both at the same time, walk and chew gum.

Then again, whats not to say I couldn’t walk and chew gum? The only problem I realized in that moment was that I was out of gum. I turned around and faced the edifice beside me.

It was a bar, The Last Chance Saloon. I straightened my bolo tie, hiked my pants up, and walked through the swinging doors. Once inside I asked the barkeep for some gum then I spit

it out as soon as I got it. the bartender asked, “Why did you do that?” I replied, “I did it because

I'm half rhino and everybody knows rhinos stamp out fires." Everyone gawked at me. They were trying to figure out whether that was supposed to be a joke or if I was being serious.

I DIDN't know if I was serious when I said it out loud. It didn't feel like a joke. So I guessed I was serious about being half rhino. My nose alone argued my case clearly. But how

come my parents never told me? They were both living in the Sam Francisco Zoo and I now in public High School, had to live on my own. School was tough, and John was bullying me.

It was weird enough that my parents were shapeshifters. Sure I could shift. John wouldn't think twice to bully me in that form. I found another way. Guys like John have no future.

&so I had to do the modest thing&be assertive in an ordinary form. That was the way John would learn to not bully anyone-superhuman or normal.That's how John will find a future, 2.
