Welcome to The Blogging from A-Z Challenge April 2014! This year, I’m offering up a story – each one 100 words or fewer - for each letter of the alphabet.
Some are heartfelt, poignant, sweet. Others are…not.
I hope you enjoy them.
The battle - Bad Thing versus Brian - rages constantly inside Brian’s mind. He stares at his army men lined up on the floor. He’s supposed to ignore bullies. Bad Thing is a bully.

A QUESTION OF WHEN
The battle - Bad Thing versus Brian - rages constantly inside Brian’s mind. He stares at his army men lined up on the floor. He’s supposed to ignore bullies. Bad Thing is a bully.
But Bad Thing whispers, itchy words that make Brian want to
scratch his brain until it bleeds. He smacks two soldiers across the room
instead.
Bad Thing jeers, goads.
Brian kicks away all the army men.
Bad Thing licks underneath Brian’s skin, laps up all his
strength.
Brian moans, crawls under his bed.
Bad Thing is going to win. It’s only a question of when.
