Leo went to the beach, could be dangerous
Leo thinks his life has no sense anymore. He is not so sure if his plan to be accidentally killed or on purpose by a giant will work or not. {Boys can play so rough, maybe it’s his my chances} he imagine. So, without any escort or special way of transportation, he walks to the crowded beach. But on his way, somebody sees him walking randomly and recklessly on the sand between normal size persons. Right before few runners on the beach almost hit him under a foot, a young teen boy warned the running guys to look down. It was a very close call, but the suicidal tiny man has been spared that time. The concerned boy ran toward Leo, thinking he was maybe sick or drunk. Putting a knee down the boy talks to him.
“Oh sorry sir, but are you okay? Are you aware you could has been badly hurt or killed walking between us like that?”
But the tiny man let himself fall on his back, extended his arm both side like offering himself in sacrifice, and said in a desperate tone:
“Just do what you wish to do kid! Kill me the way you want. I don’t care if you squish me under your foot, grab be and squish me so hard in your fist that you will grind my bones and internal organs, or stick a rod in my ass pierce me from edge to edge and cook me on a spit for your dinner!”
The boy was horrified and said very nervously: “Please sir NO WAY! What is the problem with you? No one here kills shrunken men, that is horrible!”
It was not long before more and more people, normal size and shrunken gathered all around to know what the commotion was about. Leo, looking up saw the boy who tried to save him. He was maybe not older than 12-13 years old, with a very good-looking face but showing signs of his worries and almost panicked about facing such traumatizing event. Then from the small crowd a man made his way to the centre of attention. He put his hand on the boy’s shoulder asking:
“What's happening Matt?”
The boy replied:
“Oh dad, glad you are with me now, that shrunken man wants me to kill him”, so the boy cried and his dad hugged him. Then he talked to the tiny man.
“What’s the matter with you? How could you ask a young boy to kill you? Are you not aware it’s a place for vacation, for pleasure. Why are you here, don’t you know how much you ruined our day?”
So Leo replied:
“Man, I’m so sorry. You obviously care about your son. I do have a son too but he has been taken away from me. I sure have not thought about how much I traumatized your son. So kill me if you wants vengeance!”
The young teen boy tuning back to the tiny man said as he wiped a few tears:
“I just don’t know what to do. I understand you are in pain and I just have no idea how to make you feel better, that’s all.”
The dad hugged his son again, there was lots of emotion there. Then a tall and athletic lifeguard made his way, asking everyone to step away. He looked ad the laid and passive shrunken man on the sand.
“You cannot stay there like that sir. We’ve received a report about a man wishing to die, we cannot allow that. I have to remove you from there and carry you to the consoling office.” said the good-looking giant.
Leo remained passive, talking to himself {What ever}. So The lifeguard, gently picked him up and laid him in a basket with a soft towel on the bottom to carry him to the help centre. Progressively, almost everyone returned to their respective places, a few were watching the lifeguard.
