Fear is my Ally

[glow=red,2,300] Topaz strolled down the winding road with a couple of his "friends" a couple people who were afraid of him. Fear is a scary thing. But Topaz was glad it existed. Without it where would he be? Nobody contested him. Everyone believed him. It all must've started with his father. His father had pushed him to be strong like his older brother. Fear was now in everyone's shadow. Fear WAS his shadow.

He continued on to his house. His friends were carrying his bag. He turned his head to the right. Why? Who knows? It was as though the calm wind blew whispers in his ears and told him-No- Forced him to turn his head. He saw a huge tree. A tree with nothing in it. Empty. But it left a shadow across the ground. Cool shade. He sat down under it. He Remembered the memories. He remembered the fun under the tree. The smell of honeysuckles flooded his face. He felt stuck. He didn't want to leave that spot.
