Short Short Story

- by Manna K  Abraham

Once upon a time there was a boy. 

He would pull the hair of the girls in class and when they complained they were told that they were being over sensitive.

He would grip the arms of his sisters and twist it until they cried in pain. The mother would intervene with a smile and say, “let her go!’  To her, her boy was a tough guy.

Years went by… One day the newspaper carried his picture. Accused and convicted of brutally raping his colleague.
