We'll start off with what I'm best at...a story.

Sam was walking down the street one evening when he passed by something in an alley that made him wince. He saw a man mugging a girl from his World History class. Getting extremely violent the man threw the girl to the girl to the ground and started to unbuckle his belt. Sam guessed at what was about to happen and immediately got involved. He ran up behind the mugger and tackled him to the ground.

"Get out of here!" he yelled at the girl, the rush of the moment causing him to forget her name.

The assailant kicked Sam off of him and drew a knife from his boot. Sam didn't know how to fight very well and did not carry his own knife with him around unless he knew he'd be in the slightest danger. He grabbed the closest thing he could reach, a broken hockey stick that had missed the dumpster. The knife wielding man lunged at Sam who rolled out of the way, and into the wall. Sam hadn't realized how narrow the alley really was. Getting up he brought the hockey stick to bear against the assailant who had recomposed himself.

"You ruined my fun you little fuck! Now I'm gonna ruin your life!" he lunged again, this time Sam just rolled out of the way and brought the hockey stick down on the assailant's head. The man shouted in agony. Sam took advantage of the man's pain to strike again this time knocking him out cold. To make sure he was down Sam hit him in the chest once more. Satisfied he kicked the knife under the dumpster and walked out of the alley, just as the girl came running toward him with a police officer, who upon seeing the scene called in backup.

Watching the investigators work Sam wondered how often people did what he'd just done. He knew it wasn't often enough though. Then he thought...what if I did that? What if I was the one who went out and fought the evil. I'm no superhero but I could do it. I could have Dusty teach me to fight and I could buy equipment off the internet. I could be like a modern day Assassin from Assassin's Creed! While Sam pondered this the assailant was taken away, staring him down the whole way to the police cruiser...

I'll be working on this from time to time in between posts.
