Standoff
It was a cinematic standoff in the night. A mist of heat and streetlight, abused cars jamming the deserted strip mall parking lot, teenagers clustered around the fringes, an expanse of gleaming pavement separating the two of them.The victim only offered a shrug of his shoulders. Slicked to perfection, Jesse’s nonchalance glossed the flush blooming across his cheeks and ears.The bully stalked closer—though Jesse’s blood was charged with terror, he stood his ground. “I don’t think your parents would want anything to do with you if they were given the choice.
