The Traveler's Tales

Harvey's End

A small child sits down in front of you, the traveler, he looks confused about you, you prepare to tell him a tale.

A long time ago, on a planet long forgotten, there lived a child named Harvey.

Harvey had problems with bullying people, his favorite targets name was Hou. Hou had tried to get help, but no one believed them.

They called their friends to help stop him, but they always got hurt the worse.

This went on every day, Harvey slowly getting worse, coming back to beat them up more.

But one day, Hou reacted, attacking Harvey full force. Harvey attacked full force as well, slowly getting weaker as they fought.

Harvey finally gave in. Hou grabbed a stone and smashed it into his head, Harvey was knocked out, he fell to the ground, landing on his back.

After Harvey awoke, Hou told him to never bully anyone again, and if he did, Harvey would be hurt. 

Word got around about Hou, making him the most popular kid in school, nobody messed with him or his friends ever again.

The child asks, "Why did that happen?"

"Because Harvey had gone too far, but that is another tale, one that you may hear soon." You reply, climbing out the window.

You duck down so your mask doesn't bump against the frame.

The child waves goodbye, crawling back in bed.

You smile, your mask bending and warping to show it.

Then you disappear.
