Alone We Are Weak, United We Are Strong


(Too bad that didn’t happen here)
Discrimination is different. He hates everyone else. He is disgusted by equality and her silly notions, and he finds peace an abhorration because, unlike Discrimination, Peace likes everyone else. Discrimination is alone… He has no one. No one except for Superiority who, like discrimination, looks down on everyone else; even his cousin excellence.  Superiority hates excellence because Excellence worked for what he has and Superiority finds that, that makes him almost as bad as Shameful.
When Discrimination and Superiority find time to meet up, Peace, Equality, and Love all leave. They are scared of what the two of them might do. Most of the time, Discrimination and Superiority only make threats, they find that coming off of their high chairs is too much effort; but when they do come down, it is always bad.
One time apparently, Discrimination was full of spirit and rage from drinking and he came off of that high chair. Before everyone else could react, Discrimination was among them, and he grabbed wildly in the air. Discrimination, with a pungent smell of alcohol on his breath, by chance, snatched the collar of little equality with that wild grab of his and then, continued by taking Equality’s little right arm and squeezing. Everyone else had run away at first but now they looked back. Little Equality was gasping and pain flushed across his face as Discrimination dug his long nails into Equality’s skin. Peace and the others, out of sight behind a large boulder, watched in horror as Discrimination then began to take out a cigarette and a lighter, then light the cigarette, take a couple puffs, and proceed to push the burning end down toward Equality’s face. Fear and panic filled the hearts of everyone but none of them could bear to look… They couldn’t stomach it, so they all hid behind that boulder. And as they crouched there, hidden from view, all they could hear were the screams of Equality and the laughs of Superiority as Discrimination decided gleefully what torturous device he would try next on his victim.
Everyone feared Discrimination and Superiority, they feared that they would be in Equality’s spot if they spoke up, so rather than help poor little Equality, they turned their backs and walked away to his tear filled attempts at cries for help. The next they came back and Discrimination was back up there on his high horse with Superiority sitting right next to him again. But one thing had changed, Equality was gone and that was the last they would ever hear from him.
