1 Just my rotten luck

Within a dimly lit building, a sickly sweet scent clung to the air. It was so strong that if you open your mouth you couldn't help but imagine a pile of desserts flooding in.

The scent flowed out into the streets. Thoroughly pleasing the people that passed by.

Suddenly an explosion of fumes erupted out of the building. Smoke quickly filled the room, seeping out the window unto unsuspecting bystanders.

Joyful howl escaped through the smoke.

"They all said this wouldn't work! Boy did I fool them."

The boy erupted into a fit of laughter. Covered in ash he walked out the building to see the outcome of his glorious experiment.

Looking at the building he noticed how all the windows were completely covered in inch-thick soot. The boy, young man really, let out a low whistle.

"I've outdone my self," The boy said, through an ear-to-ear grin. "I have!"

"Oi. What's the big idea!" Said one of the explosion's victims. He had pinched his nose to escape from the worst of the fumes that were now emitting out of the building so his voice was slightly morphed. "I'm thoroughly covered in soot! I have a big meeting today!"

What the man had just said was clearly undeniable. The evidence was his very clothing. After he said he had a meeting it was clear that anyone could see that everything about the suit he was wearing screamed 'expensive'. Even the stitches looked as if made of gold

Though the boy clearly noticed the man's expensive clothes he merely shrugged and said, "My bad, buddy. Rest assured that I did not personally target you with these fumes. No need to get angry."

By now many people had gathered around to see the cause of all the commotion. When they hear how the boy responded to the clearly powerful man they shook their heads.

'How could this boy be so stupid'

'He even dared to call him buddy!'

'Did he not see the clothes this man is wearing! He's not blind, is he?'

Due to them all thinking such similar things it was as if they were partaking in a mental conversation. Because the man could guess what they were thinking he stood a little taller and adopted a proud look onto his face.

"Little boy," The man started a smug look spread across his face, " If you kneel and apologize I'll forgive you."

The boy stared at him for a few seconds. Wearing a thin smile he replied, " Well this just isn't my day now is it."

Although it wasn't a question the man still responded, "No need to worry. Just kneel and apologize and all will be well. "

The boy thought for a moment and with a face of mock realization, he said, "But wait! Is it me that needs to apologize... or you?"

All the people that crowded gasped in fear for the boy. After all who would be so stupid to purposely offend someone like that?

'He sure was in for it now!'

"You!" Before the man could say any more the boy sent a kick flying to the man's chin.

The man lost balance and fell on his back. Not allowing the man the chance to try and get up the boy sat on him.

Looking down at him the boy gave a mischievous smirk. "It's clear that you don't know who I am. Shall I enlighten you?"

By now the man was red in the face with anger. He spat in the boy's face and said, " Do you think I would lower myself so much, just to learn your name?"

With this, the boy's face went cold. In contrast to his face of ice, the boy's eyes were dancing with an inflamed rage that grew brighter in each passing second that the boy was silent.

After seconds of silence, the boy bent down and whispered something into the man's ear in such a low voice that even id the crowd came several steps closer and strained their wars they still would not hear.

"That's good because I'm nothing special," The boy said. Then in a louder voice, he added, " Nice meeting you. Buddy"

And without another word, the boy got up and left.

"Hey. Just who are you?" Said one of the onlookers(he was also covered in soot).

"Your asking for my name?" Without waiting for an answer the boy turned around and said, "The names Loretto. Loretto Theadore Saint. "

Watching the boy walking off the man, still on the floor, exclaimed "Just my rotten luck!"
