ben nevis | district two | fin [cbd3]

Ben Nevis is a boy so easily walked over. A boy so eager to say yes to his own demise. It is hard to say no when the pleasure of another brings a smile to his face. A career chained to a fate of being the punch bag, the practice dummy for all the little ones to poke their wooden spears at and yet he never refuses.

All he can do is smile but the years are slowly eroding it from his face. A father who warns him of his actions. ”You’ve got to stop being so soft Ben, too much kindness will be the end of you.” It is a fate set into stone, just one errand for another could topple him.

”Hey Ben, take this across the District will you?”

”Ben, you’re free to help loot the abandoned house near the centre aren’t you?”

”You know Ben, you’re javelin throwing would really help with this idea I have got…”

Ben Nevis does not know how to say no. It is not a word printed into his mind. He does not carry the strength to stand up for himself. All he knows best is to just nod his head and follow whoever is leading him.

A yes man that carries everybody else’s shit. It won’t be long until the consequences catch up to him.
