The Bedtime Story

He looked left..right.. up..down...all around... with a guilty look on his face.. prayed that no one would move..and fired away...once he was done- no one would be alive. ultimately, with a lift of his eyebrow, he nodded his head in choice disapproval at the carnage and walked away.
He was a born killer. Seeing the violent streak in him, his parents changed his diet to a purely vegeterian one, in the hope that it would calm him down (they survived simply cos of the perennial family disease- the boy had it too!) . But, no.. if anything it seemed to aggravate him even more. After umpteen prayers to the Goddess, and breaking coconuts at the temple of the family deity, they finally decided to offer him to the lord to ease the sufferings for others. But, as luck would have it, in the case of most villains, a lion attacked his would-be assassin, and then was promptly killed by the little boy (such amazing power..!!)
Many a year, he lay in wait- he was old enough to know that he was the son of the king, when they planned to kill him. He waited and waited...in the forest, foraging for food, and hunting down animals much bigger than himself with his strange strength- all along dreaming only of winning back his kingdom.
He prayed to the Heavens above to ease his sufferings. Nothing changed- and well, as young boys do, he grew up into a handsome regal man, and his prowess grew too. There were talks about the radiant youth who lured travellers and killed them in one single stroke and was busy building a small treasure trove in the woods.
The king was at a loss for words. He knew it had to be his son- but there was no way he could be stopped- not after the prophecy that no man could enter within 100 yards of him and hope to survive (man= human being..this aint no LOTR.. and the boy aint no lord of the nazgul! :D.. and remember i aint no sydney sheldon- my main protagonist will never be a female :D)
And then, an old man rose. He said he had an invention that could get the prince back to the normal world, allow him to be king..and yet not try to steal away from the prince his powers! He went to the woods, and spoke loudly to the youth (using a "loudspeaker"). The prince liked what he heard, and agreed to walk back with the arrangement. And thus, was the greatest ruler on the face of the earth crowned king.
Thus, in this small kingdom were invented the two greatest inventions of mankind- the loudspeaker and the surgical masks!

Mebbe this will help!
