They call him pygmy - because he's short, because he's not brave enough to call them on it. Geek, computer addict, textbook definition of class loser. He stutters like a phonograph record with a scratch down the middle, awkward, out of harmony with the world - his life nothing but a series of regrettable disasters. He flinches at the tiniest things - the tickle of a ladybug crawling up his arm, the disturbingly squishy things in the sushi, the used condom tucked into his locker by someone who wants a laugh. He's read about people like him snapping, the quiet ones who wind up shooting their classmates, but he won't do that. Explosives are much more efficient.
