Seduction of the Innocent

I knew a kid in Grade 7 who liked to show off his comic collection, who made the mistake of showing it off to a kid in our class named Ned Kent, who then told his brother, who then told his friends, who then got together to steal the whole thing from Andy’s bedroom.
     I was catching up with Andy a while back, not long after I’d heard that Ned had died in his forties.
     “Fuck Ned Kent and his brother for stealing my comics!”
     So, I told him how Ned had died.
     “Fuck Ned Kent for making me care!”
