The Story of Mike Trisimano

Mike Trisimano was what most would call an average, normal city boy at age 14. It was a tough time for him, partly because he didn't have the perfect or richest family in the world, partially because he didn't have all of the friends a kid could have, and partially because he didn't have the interest in hobbies or athleticism that most of the other kids had. Now, keep in mind, Mike wasn't a total loser, for he did have parents and friends and he wasn't the kid picked last in gym class, yet at the same time, he didn't really have anything special about him.

He had both hands in his pockets, and his facial features were blocked by a hood, with braids coming out of the bottom. He said, "Yo, whats poppin kidd?" Without saying anything, Mike looked to the next figure. It was a shorter man, appearing much wider than the first man, mostly because he was in a costume that looked like a warewolf. It was a very big costume, but not very real looking. He said, in an old-fashioned British accent, "How do you do?" The last man, not very tall and a little broad-shouldered, was wearing a pin-striped suit. He had dark hair with gel in it, he was tan, and very neat and dapper. He said, "How you doin?" If Mike thought he was scared before, now, he was terrified.

They all returned to the ground. The first man turned
