The Rare Purple Elephant pt. 19 - In the bathroom

As you know, many things happen whilst in the bathroom. This is a memory that came to the front of Bob's head as he sat on the toilet, preparing for "Plan A".


It was exactly Twenty years ago.
Bob at this time was nine years old, and the movie "The Ultranator" had just came out, and everybody at his low-budget school had seen it.
Including Big Jimmy.

Now, "The Ultranator" Was all about a guy named Johnathon. He went on a big adventure, broke open a couple people in robot suits for the first time, and eventually found the main villan who was supposedly building these robots. When Johnathon found him, then said that he was a nerd, there was no epic final battle. The bad guy started crying and sobbing and complaining about his childhood, then ran wailing into a lava pit.
Johnathon then found his true love in the last five minutes and they lived happily ever after.

Now, if you wonder how this relates to Bob's evil, it might help to point out that the main (wimpy) villain's name was Bob.

Back in Bob's school, Big Jimmy was the ruling force. All the teachers feared him, all the students feared him, even those who would normally form his gang feared him.
He was bulky, had enormous muscles, tall, strapping, and sacrificed his brains for more muscles.

And if Little Jimmy decided that having the same name as a wimp made you a wimp, you were a wimp.

In short, all the bruises, scars and broken bones healed, but his soul never did.

So, after crying one night, he pulled himself together and hatred erupted when the sadness and depression lifted. Hatred of his name, Big Jimmy, his life....

So, he left.

Nine years later, Bob had graduated college with a master's degree in EVERYTHING.

It was obvious that Bob was ready to take on the outside world, but that hatred that had steadily burned on and on inside his soul had flared up to an enormous size, and it was time for his true intentions to be revealed.

For seven years he made minimal money off of writing and making things. Then he found the ultimate way of making money, and be able to fill his evil soul with all that he desired.

A new continent.
