The Bad Eggs Made Me Do It

"If it isn't the dwarf and his ugly wife."

"I'm not a dwarf, I'm a Leprechaun."

"Wow! he got some balls talking back look at that."

---

The men said as they circled my wife and I in the dark alley.

---

"Look, we don't want any trouble, we are just heading home."

"You don't belong here freak. Your true home is many miles away."

---

We ignored the men and kept walking forward.

"Hold up, What Does your wife have in those bags?"

"These are nothing, just random Leprechaun trash, nothing that would interest you."

"We would have believed you, but you know what they say about your kind?"

"We are kind and peaceful?"

"You are all deceiving and mischievous."

---

One of them said as they all laughed out loud. Their leader came for the bag that my wife was carrying. My wife hesitated to release the bag.

---

"Look at that, She is dragging the bag with me." He said as he brought out a gun from his bag.

"Sweetheart, let the bag go" I said to my wife. "Take the bag and let us go please."

He snatched the bag from my wife.

"This is no trash." He said as he opened the bag. "These are some Leprechaun magic weapon of some sort, should be worth something. Check it out."

He said as he threw the bag to the other members of his gang.

"Can we go now?"

"Yeah sure. Move along freak."

We were few steps away when I heard a gunshot, and my wife fell to the ground bleeding profusely.

"No OO!! What have you done?!"

Before I could turn back, the gang disappeared into the darkness. I knelt there weeping over my wife's lifeless body. This was it. I have taken it all from the humans. Their insults, their neglects, their hate, their wickedness and injustice. This was the last straw that broke my heart. They wouldn't get away with this.

---

I buried my wife in the yard at the back of my house. Went into the basement and started ransacking the old abandoned Leprechaun objects we came to earth with. There it was, the box I was looking for. I opened it and brought out the Green ring hidden inside it. As I stared at the ring, I remembered my Father's words many years ago.

---

"Since you have decided to abandon your family and move to earth, it's fine. Be fully aware that your family will never abandon you. Take this ring with you, if you ever get into trouble or in need of help, put it on and you will have the strength of 100 men and the magic of a thousand generations."

---

I put on the Ring, and felt the powers flow through my veins. I felt so different and reborn. With that anger I stormed the streets fishing out all the bad eggs who were oppressing and cheating the weak. I changed from being a loving Leprechaun to a sad and grumpy Old Leprechaun.

I Wrote this after reading a Post by @snook that made me pretty sad. Check it Out Here. My story was inspired by her experience with the challenge. This is what happens in the world repeatedly. Most times we make people become the monsters they are.

Hey @snook, I'm in no way trying to advise you to become a sad and grumpy snook and go about hunting the bad eggs lol. Let it slide and keep smiling.

LET LOVE LEAD ❤️♥️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
