Drabble of the Day
Violence Is Never The Answer
His appetite dead, Benny sweated next to his food. Beside the interrupted meal lay a loaf of bread and a carving knife.
The man behind Benny spoke quietly:
"Violence isn't the answer, Benny."
Another man, sitting close, held a syringe.
"Local anaesthetic," he explained, jabbing it into Benny's wrist and squeezing. Benny squealed.
The man replaced the hypodermic and grasped the knife. He cut a slice of bread but didn't eat it. Then he carved his way slowly through Benny's anaesthetised thumb.
"No. Violence isn't the answer, Benny," the man behind him whispered. "The pain violence initiates: that's the answer."
