CHAPTER ONE
Two months ago...
Martin Cheswick hated children.
In fact, Martin Cheswick had always hated children, even back in the days
when
he was a child himself. In the slum neighborhood where he grew up, the young
Cheswick had been a tubby, unpopular kidтАФnot smart enough to be the teacher's
pet, not coordinated enough to be an athlete, and not funny enough to be the
class clown. His size and slowness made him an easy target for the petty
cruelties of the older, stronger bullies who took delight in tormenting him.
Even at the time, Cheswick knew full well that it wasn't that they were after
his lunch money or anything like that. It couldn't have been; he never had
any
to steal. He didn't really understand why they did it. It seemed as though
they
did it simply for the sake of doing it.
It wasn't until many years later that, in retrospect, Cheswick realized that
the
main reason for all of his beatings and victimization probably had nothing to
do
