Chapter 4
Shattered

Almost everyone is doing a little nod, like they’ve all been there.

“The Wii controllers shatter the best...Cheaper plastic,” says a burly guy with a sleeveless T and a bandana sitting next to Tooth. His name is now Bandana.

“I tried to keep it together,” I say. “I really did. My whole purpose was to just enjoy myself, to not care…and I couldn’t do it.”

Tooth opens his arms. “And thus you are here.”

I shrug and shake my head. “Not because of that,” I say.

“So…making children assault each other on a basketball court and throwing video game controllers is just the beginning,” Tooth says.

“I told you it was a long story,” I say.

Tooth adjusts in his chair for a longer haul.

“Ok,” he says. “Continue.”
