Higher Learning : A Short Horror Story

by Syon Das

Ryan Dansfield had known Josea Cunningham since they were freshmen in high school. For four long years, Josea had tormented him for no apparent reason. No one else seemed to care about Ryan's pain, or even notice what a jerk Josea was. Much to Ryan's dismay, he realized that he would be attending the same university as his high school bully. Ryan cringed at the thought of having to spend another four years looking at Josea's face. Once college started, he couldn't stand the constant academic and athletic praise the idiot seemed to get. Things always seemed to get better for Josea Cunningham. But then... something happened. Something that shocked the campus, Josea's friends, and the wrestling coach. People were heartbroken about the event that had transpired. But not Ryan. No, Ryan Dansfield had been waiting for an opportunity like this all along. He had wished for a chance to disrespect, and mock Josea...and now he had it. What Ryan forgot, however, is that everything comes with a price.
