Scandal screamed. Though to those watching it was a very loud yell, but to him, he was screaming. He had his hand against the tree, shoulders hunched, head down. He yelled at the ground dramatically. It was to be a mixture of pain and rage but it was palpably fake. He was putting on a show for the whole park to see.

Few glanced over but most went along their way thinking he was either a crazy to be avoided or a gimmick that would take time to invest in. He glanced under his shoulder to see whose attention he caught. He saw the disinterested people making their way through the lush park and almost threw in a loud “woe is me” but thought better of it. He awkwardly had oversold his drama.

He pushed away from the tree, simultaneously kicking up the dirt as he spun. He loudly groaned, this time to himself, at his foolishness. This honesty drew the attention of someone though. A boy. He had seen Scandal’s treeside yell, his telling desperation for attention, and finally his mysterious aggravation. The boy strolled over to Scandal.

“What you yelling about?”

Scandal was suddenly surprised at the small person that appeared before him. “Ahh, what are you–?” He remembered he was trying to attract a dupe into his ploy and a sudden boy would suffice.

“I am yelling because I have–” what was his lie again? “lost my dog.”

“Your dog?” The boy had become more invested in this man’s intrigue now. One minute he’s throwing what appears to be a play tantrum and the next he is claiming he is searching for a lost pup?

“What’s he look like then?”

Scandal panics for a moment until he remembers he had thought up a response if questioned further.
