~~~~~~~~~
Somewhere in Beachton at a locals bar…

“You been reading what they’ve said in the paper?”
“’Bout what?”
“Keith.”
“Oh yeah, that’s real sad about Keith, hard to lose your kid-“
“Asshole, he had it comin.’”
“You can’t say that about the dead!”
“Come on, you know what that guy was like. Spent his youth bullying all the other kids, stealing their bikes, boards, skates, money, anything that wasn’t attached.”
“..Jaylee cried for a month when he took her doll and ripped it’s head off.”
“He didn’t just rip dolls heads off ya know.”
“He wasn’t that bad. ..Was he?”
“Torlk didn’t just leave Beachton because he decided the big city was calling. His parents shipped him off. That kid had scars.”
“Everyone has scars.”
“Not just the sort you see.”
“I remember there was that kid- whatshisname, the weirdo. Something happened and it all stopped, right?”
“It didn’t really stop. Keith just got a good ol’ walloping from his da’ finally. So he stopped pickin’ on the locals.”
“I never saw anything.”
“Yeah, but you heard it, didn’tcha? Everyone’s heard what Keith was doing. Scamming the townies, picking them off, one on their own, taking them away from the big lights and rollin’ em.”
“Come on, everyone’s dreamed of doing that. Damned tourists comin’ here, acting like they own the place, disrespecting the way things are supposed to be..”
“There’s a difference between dreamin’ and doin’.”
“If he was really doing that his da’ would of stopped him. There’s no way Keith would of let him do that.”
“Sure, just like he wouldn’t let ‘im beat on the local kiddies til one broke and he couldn’t deny it anymore.”
“…”
“He wasn’t no kid no more. Can’t just be saying ‘boys be boys’ when he was a grown ass man. Has been for years. I’m not surprised he picked the wrong soul to roll and it bit him on the ass-“
“You shouldn’t be speakin’ ill of the dead.”
“What’s he gonna do, come back and beat my ass from beyond the grave?”
“…”
“Besides, I heard they ain’t even gonna be havin’ an open casket what with how they left him- Ain’t no body to come back to.“
“That’s not how ghosts work.”
“How would you know?”
“…“ … “So we goin’ to the wake on Saturday then?”
“Of course! Gotta support ol’ Keith. ‘S a damned shame when a man loses his son like that. Even if his son was a no good ass.”
