Mean Orc

Octoberville

Peter and Matt, two friends of the orc, were talking in the hospital corridor.

“No orc should have to go through this. The contusion was serious and now he’s talking funny. Everyone is laughing at him.” Peter rolled his eyes in disgust.

“Well, I suppose,” replied Matt, “but he was always slightly mean. Don’t you remember when…”

“I really don’t care. He should be respected. He’s fragile now.”

Suddenly, the orc died.

Peter waved. Matt got closer.

“I killed him,” whispered Peter.

“What on earth? Why??”

“I was talking to him and, man, did he have a mean bad breath.”
