Unpublished 12. Insanity

The ignorant, obnoxious frat boy at the Snakes 'N Barrels concert had either ignored- or hadn't understood- all of the warning signs. First, the polite rebuffing, followed up by gentle pleading and attempts at warding-off. Then, failing that, the setting of the jaw, the squaring of the shoulders, the balling of the fists, and the determined stare into nothingness.

Loud noises were all right by Toki... so long as he was the one making them. Intrude upon his personal space, however, and one would risk a savage beating.

Touch him, and one would then be risking their very life.

Whats this about "bricks to the head"? I'm not tossing bricks at you.... I however can toss bricks with you!

The Cliffs of Insanity.....

Actually I thought this quite good! I feel this way in crowds quite a bit myself but I'm not allowed to just go off and beat people up (drat) I found it interesting that Toki was doing okay...okay..until the rabbit showed up. Then he went off. What was that anyways?
