Old Man Dilemma
Mr. Lehinas hardly came out the house, but when ruckus struck from those snide teenagers, he zoomed out like a coyote.
Mr. Lehinas couldn’t quite grasp the issue with people, especially children feeling the need to bother others for entertainment no matter the circumstances or effect it has them.
Three young men, or should Mr. Lehinas refer to them as three young doofuses, would walk by his house everyday after school. They come by stomping on Mr. Lehinas flowers, laughing and giggling about it like the assholes that they are.
Whenever Mr. Lehinas came rushing outside, the three young doofuses would scurry away. It was like Tom chasing Jerry, only it’s triplets. Mr. Lehinas never knew why he even bothers sometimes having the option to call the cops on them, but in the back of his mind he remembered being a kid once.
He remembered that he once stole candy from the corner store with friends just for the thrill of it while unfortunately getting caught. But almost caught to be exact, since he and his friends barely escaped with their lives. He remembered the rush in his veins, the excitement, the terrifying fear of repercussions pertaining to jail.
Like a birthday surprise when he got home, his father already had the belt in his hands ready to smack his butt with it. Just reminiscing on it made Mr. Lehinas rub his butt as if it just happened yesterday, but now thinking about it, he always wondered how his father knew of his stealing. He figured maybe his father and the store owner personally knew each other just to keep a close eye on him in secret.
At least he didn’t go to jail that day, he probably would’ve never gotten the tech job and investments to retire as early as he did.
As scheduled, the three young doofuses came stomping on his plants again, yet when Mr. Lehinas stormed outside, it was only one doofus.
He was then hit by heavy loads of water by his own water hose projected by the other doofus.
“Come on! Come on!” The doofus who sprayed Mr. Lehinas said running towards.
The two doofuses came kicking and stomping Mr. Lehinas on the ground, even taunting that he couldn’t do nothing about it by sticking their fingers up Mr. Lehinas nose. Mr. Lehinas screams were full of agony as they proceeded to spray him again with the water hose, this time with so much pressure since they were closer.
“Guys, stop it! Stop it!” The third doofus said breaking up the altercation. “You didn’t say we were gonna do this!”
“Oh, shut the hell up!” The first doofus snarled. “I knew you weren’t gonna be on board so I didn’t tell you.” He kicked Mr. Lehinas again.
“Stop!” The third doofus yelled covering Mr. Lehinas like a shield.
The first doofus scoffed, then departed with the second doofus after disappointingly staring at the third doofus for a minute.
“You okay, sir?” The third doofus asked.
But Mr. Lehinas didn’t answer as he felt so humiliated, shocked, and ready to hide back in the house.
