Bully

“Trust me” He demanded, and refused to move.
(But I don’t even know you…)

I always book aisle seat whenever I fly and had the ticket stub in my hand: 27C. The legend on the bulkhead corresponded.

“Ask the flight attendant”, he demanded.

The flight attendant confirms the truth.

He moves without apologizing. Mumbles something about always requesting aisle seats.

I get a glimpse into his life. A bully who’s not used to being challenged. A bully who gets his way no matter what until someone steps up to question him.

It takes just one person to stand up to a bully.
