Burt

Burt was an omen in our town, easily offended by anything possible, having vengeance tantrums as an act of making you pay for the inconsiderate thing you said about him. I always found him confused: instead of actually being offended about what somebody says, he believes he should be angry and is simply very good and displaying uncertain anger. This all changed though when my friend Ghini came round, the last person to ever offend Burt.

I wanted to avoid Burt as I didn’t want him to hurt me or Ghini in anyway as she wasn’t aware about his unique attitude. However, Burt started to walk down the street towards us, so I’d had to hope for the best. Burt smiled at me first most likely recovered from his last tantrum that was on me. I should have let Ghini know about him and how to only speak in the friendliest allusions. However disaster did strike, but I wondered if it was because of me or because Burt is such a difficult person, that Burt started to get filled with rage, after believing to be discriminated from eating an apple.

 

I wanted to hastily cross the road, away from him but Ghini seemed less fearful than I was. She seemed more inquisitive and before Burt could force her into a wall and express his most deepest emotions of anger, she asked the question, “What makes you angry Burt?” Burt froze, starting to question his rage at the moment. He started to think which I believed was the first time in forever that he did so, but I couldn’t believe that one such question was able to stop Burt from being his usually, unnecessary, sensitive self. Their discussion went from harmful apples to why Burt has to get so angry about things. The situation took a large turn around while I simply watched it happen, but it all concluded with there being no rage from anyone. Burt seemed malleable to Ghini and was actual happy to have met her and have learnt from her. It felt so Kilter to see Burt go from himself to completely changed in a day so easily, all thanks to Ghini.
