The rich always go too far.

 Little tapeworm of a student comes in 19 minutes early! That's a record.  Previous record was 15 minutes early.  I'm astonished at the rich; how they expect one to chip in extra time, even despite their wealth and my relative poverty.  The worst was when - on my way out to get a smoothie and escape their benighted tyranny, the older brother comments: What about my brother!  Sorry mate: I've got to eat, otherwise I'll give a bad lesson, I say. The shameless presumptiousness of some people!

A vignette on the kid I knew

 The boy I had known in youth was now an old man, and in only a matter of 8 years or less. The face was cloaked in creases and the eyes drooped down to his cheeks. At 27 he looked not a year younger than 60. What had happened? And had he become a philanthropist?  What was more, I felt a twinge of envy on seeing his freedom in the African sands. Such freedom must have come at a great cost given that he'd lost his life-juice in its pursuit. Or, so it seemed to be the case.
