Taking It Too Far
Bernard made eye contact with Scott as he brought the screwdriver to the ball and began to stab at it with a satisfied expression on his face. Scott couldn’t believe his eyes as he watched the old man completely destroy a child’s toy beyond all recognition, right in view of her entire birthday party. He then crumbled the ball up in his hands, letting all the air squeeze out of it. Scott couldn’t believe this was happening as Evie started to screech loudly. The old man seemed pleased as he watched her cry, as if that was his intention from the start. But he wasn’t done yet. In fact, Bernard was just getting started on showing the young family who was the boss on their block, and what he did next Scott would never forget.
