Justice from the Shadows

Tristan Edwards had been the editor for the Liberty City High’s Eagle Press. We met during freshman year after a track meet. Back then, Tristan had greasy blond hair, pimples, and wore vintage clothing. Despite his outward appearance, Tristan thought he was attractive. Time had passed. His hair was cleaner and his skin was clearer, but the clothes he chose still belonged to the wrong decade—circa 1980. One thing stayed the same. Tristan was about as enticing as a flooded toilet at a street fair. Sadly, Tristan didn’t have a clue about his lack of appeal.
