I kicked him.
I hurled a chunk of land itself at him.
And then, I made him crash to the ground harder than I fell for my high school girlfriend. I used to walk ten steps behind her… until the police told me to stop calling her my girlfriend and following her.
Yet after all that, Malthus was still breathing.
We were both lying side by side like two friends tired after cursing each other's entire generation.
I turned my head at Malthus.
His chest rising and falling like a dramatic teenage girl who just read her crush's chat but didn't reply for psychological dominance.
"Still breathing?" I asked.
"As if something like that could kill me."
"That something like that was everything that could hold me accountable for murder in a civilised world."
"As long as Humans exist, no world is civilised."
"Dude, you are out here invading others homes and humans are the ones uncivilized? Your double standards are bigger than your double chin."
"I don't have a double chin!"
