{ WP ] It starts out slow . A strange disease that renders human beings incapable and forget about kindness or anything of the sort has infected the whole world . Life goes on as per normal , but humanity is cold to one another . Then one day , you meet an individual who is 'different ' .

He was the outcast, the one that did n't think or act like us, the one that we treated as a slave. If you asked anyone that knew of him, they would not be able to tell you his name. Anyone, except for one person, me. And I am ashamed to say that the reason for that came not through friendship, but from torment. 
 
 
 `` Hey you!'' Oliver yelled, as we surrounded the runt, the new kid that came from a neighboring town. `` Why did you come here? Huh? Did your other orphanage get to disgusted by the way you act''? That insult was followed by a quick kick and a jab to the stomach. 
 
 `` I know!'' I said, `` It's because he's such a waste of space! He ca n't do anything at all!'' Then I proceeded to beat him up as I had done to countless other pathetic pipsqueaks. Without mercy, Oliver and I bullied the boy, tormenting him with an array of sharp jibes and quick jabs. But then, then came a moment that I will never forget. He looked at me with confusion in his eyes, and said one word, 
 
 `` Why?'' That simple question made me stop for a moment, but that moment was enough for him to pose me with another question. `` What joy do you get from this?'' I could n't answer him, and in that moment of doubt I felt something that I had n't felt in a long, long time. 
 
 Oliver seemed unaffected by the boy's words; he just sneered and continued to beat him down on the cold, hard pavement of our schoolyard. But something was wrong, I felt it inside of me, like a firefly trapped inside of cupped hands, trying to escape. And then it did. 
 
 `` Stop that Oliver, stop that right now!'' I yelled at him. 
 
 `` Stop what? Stop giving this runt what he deserves?'' he replied with a sneer. 
 
 `` Yes, because today I felt something, something that I did n't think existed anymore. Today, I remembered what it is like to be capable of the greatest joy of mankind. To be capable of kindness.''
