Timothy Rarely Laughed

Timothy rarely laughed but had a certain wicked grin, not that grin when one smiles too widely: his untrustworthy looks were very scary: why couldn't he act like the happy Huckleberry Finn? Unforgiving, rebellious, arrogant and insane were the many attributions to his character; everybody hated his attitude and colored hair: they avoided him when he swung his cane. He had no friends, except his mom offering spoils; his attire was not trendy, he had a long, red beard which he never trimmed to look attractive to girls: they saw his dark side and wouldn't mutter a word. Children were horrified of his gaunt body, they thought he was another Jesse Poneroy who tortured little boys and killed girls, but fear was as compelling as doubt: his reputation got tarnished by rumors, not actual facts. Timothy rarely laughed but had a certain wicked grin, until now nobody has figured out what had built inside of him: rejection, hostility, animosity increased his acute pain, but he defied them by wearing a hat with a turned-down brim.
