Anthony the Tantalizer By: Kyle Mundorff Anthony was a boy who came from a rich family; he always got what he wanted and was never nice to other people. But the people he hated the most were the short people. Also, he was not liked by the townspeople. He was a bully, so people called him the tantalizer. He would tantalize people with money by hanging it over their heads or he would just ruin their day. Anthony has dark brown hair with brown eyes to match. He is around 6 foot 5. He lives in the biggest house in his village on the out skirts of the city of Greece. The year is around 500. It’s fall time and the weather is warm but not to hot. Anthony is getting ready for a regular day. He’s wearing a new coat that he just bought. It’s a dark brown color like his hair. He has a white shirt on underneath. He is wearing blue paints with brass buttons along the side. As he walked out the door he grabbed some money and off he went. Anthony made his way down to the town center were he goes every morning to buy some food and other things. However today, he decides not to buy his food and instead ruin someone’s day. At this moment he is trying to figure out how. He sees a particularly short person walking by with a huge armful of bags and supplies .He trips him with a quick extension of his leg. The bags fly through the air and into anther person, who then falls into a food stand sending its contents every where. And, for the person who was tripped in the first place, falls forward into a stand as well sending more food to the ground. While this was happening, Anthony was sitting back laughing at it all. With one move he ruined the day of 4 people and this was just the start of the day. As he was leaving to go back home he tripped and fell into a puddle of water. Around lunch Anthony got bored so he decided to go for a walk down to the local well where people get their water. As he approached the well he then saw a short person looking over the side to see his bucket. Then Anthony saw this, he could not resist and pushed the person into the well. (Zeus the God of the Gods had been watching Anthony and was the reason he tripped earlier in the day Zeus did this to deter him from doing anything else). Zeus did not like what Anthony just did and was not happy so he threw a thunderbolt right into Anthony’s house and set it on fire. This was Zeus’s last warring to Anthony about his behavior. When Anthony came home to see his house burnt to the ground he did not mind because he was rich. He just went and bought a new one. But this did not stop him from hurting someone else. He had one cruel way to end the day. He went down to the poorest section of town and found a poor short person. He woke him up him and held a bag of money over his head and said if you get the bag it will be yours. But he knew the poor guy would never reach it. This is why they call him the tantalizer he ends his day every day by tantalizing the poor. Yet today Zeus had had enough and decided to end this once and for all. Zeus jumped down form mount Olympus and landed next to Anthony. Zeus then spoke to him, he said,” You have been given many chances to change your ways but I have watched for to long it is time to stop”. As soon as Zeus finished his last word there was a large cloud of dark sea green smoke. When the smoke cleared, Zeus was gone and Anthony was no longer a tall rich man he was now a short two foot tall Green man with one hand. He was dressed in old raggedy clothes made from sacks. His house had turned into a 10 by 10 box. After about 10 years Zeus came back down to earth to speak with Anthony. When Anthony saw Zeus he started to tremble and in a shaky voice asked why he had done this terrible thing to him. Zeus then spoke in an explosive voice, “You are now living the life of the people you torched. Now you know how they feel all because you were mean.”
