And then he woke.
And still writhing on his old, dirty bed in the saddest of rooms, he remembered the bully Big Ben from his school days, and how he would ring bells after school. How Benjamin would beat him up when all the teachers were away, and his parents had to work longer. It scarred him. It completely wrecked his perception of people. That's why he had no friends.
He was alone.
With the bells.
