FLASH FICTION #6

Ring Ring! The kids rush into the school, trying to avoid getting bullied.

But there was one kid who ran faster than the other kids, his name was Venkat Singh.

His flimsy arms & his naturally small genes made him an easy target for bullies.

He was about to get into his homeroom when he heard it, the laugh: "Ha Ha Ha!" It was Bill! He was really strong and tall, so technically the opposite of Venkat. 

Bill was bullying a 1st grader, so Venkat for the first time ever, he tried standing up for the 1st grader! But things didn’t go the way he planned, when he said, “You don't have the right to bully him!”

Bill just replied “ Stay out of this loser!” Venkat tried asking Bill why he was doing this, but Bill said “None of your business.” 

 Finally Venkat shouted, “STOP BULLYING HIM!!!"

Bill coolly said, “ You want to fight, I'll give you one, meet me at lunch.”

It was finally the dreaded lunchtime, Venkat and Bill made eye contact with each other, and then it started an explosion of punches and kicks, Venkat was about to land a punch when Bill grabbed Venkat by the collar and was about to punch him when the bell rang! 

“Saved by the bell Venkat, you won't be so lucky next time.” Bill said

“ Next time?” Venkat said

It was finally winter break, and Venkat’s family was going to India for a trip, but Venkat hates India, he says there is “nothing to do” but his family was already there. Since there was nothing to do, he laid down on the bed and stared to infinity, but that all stopped when he heard this, "Venkataaaa! Oh no, his grandma was going to tell him to do some work. Boring!

“Venkitty go play, make some friends.”

“ Fine.” Venkat said

While he was walking his shoe got stuck in something! He got his shoe out and he dug out something. It was an old box that said: History of the Singhs.

He opened the box and he found a large piece of paper that read: 

"Belt Buckle aka Soup-erman saves the day from Noodleman!!! Soup & Noodles go well together… but not this time!!! He read all about Soup-erman’s adventures & victories against Noodleman! He came across a page that said, "Venkat Singh will have fire power!"

Venkat’s eyes grew wide and he jumped at least 5 feet in the air! He tried using his powers but no fire came out. He tried and tried but nothing. Just then the ghost of Soup-erman appeared out of nowhere and said, “You must find your inner calm, then and only then you will be able to use your powers.”

And just as quickly as he appeared he disappeared. Venkat thought hard about what this meant, then he got it! He meditated every morning and every night and he trained hard. By the end of his trip he mastered the power of fire!

After a long time of not being able to bully anybody, Bill challenged Venkat to a fight as soon as he saw him! Venkat accepted because he'd mastered the power of fire. They once again made eye contact and the battle began.

Bill made the first attack with water and caught Venkat by surprise. During this, Bill admitted that he was the great-great-grandson of Noodleman!

Venkat now knew that he had to send Bill crying to his mommy, he wouldn’t let Soup-erman down! Bill stopped the first few attacks of fire, but he wasn’t so lucky on the third one. The fire burned Bill’s hand, so he said “Owie mommy, Venkat hurt meeeeeee!”

Never again did anyone mess with Venkat. He moved on to become a bully patrol officer! This is only one of Venkat Singh’s great stories, there will be more to come. I assure you!
