Allen the Sandwich

    Allen J. Satchwick sat eating his lunch by himself, again. All the popular kids yelled across the yard "Stop eating yourself Sandwich!" to which Allen rolled his eyes; like he hadn't heard that before. The irony was they thought they were joking.
    Eventually, Choice Anthony strutted over. He grabbed Allen by the collar and muttered in his ear "I said stop eating yourself, Sandwich."
    Allen could endure the mockery, but physical confrontation is where he drew the line. Allen picked Anthony up and hurled him across the yard. Anthony picked himself up, then ran back to the dorky kid for revenge.
    When Anthony arrived back at Allen's table though, Allen had transformed into a giant sandwich. Anthony stood still, astonished at what he beheld, and when it was too late he realized Allen the sandwich was falling on him. The being descended upon Choice Anthony, crushing him with his gluten-infused might. Anthony flailed from underneath, begging to be released.
    In Anthony's ear, Allen the sandwich muttered "who's the sandwich now?"
    "You are!" Anthony screamed
    "WRONG! Tell me you're a sandwich."
    "I. . . I'm a sandwich" Anthony whimpered, confused.
    "Good, now tell your friends"
    "I'm a sandwich!" Anthony yelled.
Allen the sandwich released Choice Anthony and reverted to his human self. He sandwich-kicked his foe back to the popular kids table and sat back down to finish his lunch. When Choice Anthony landed, he was a sandwichfied version of himself, and the popular kids moved their things to another table; they didn't associate with sandwiches.
    For the rest of the school year, Allen and Choice Anthony ate in the sandwich section of the school yard. Anthony attempted to reconcile, so he could at least eat in company, but it took a long time for Allen to accept. Eventually, though, the two did end up eating lunch together, and even started to become friends. As they say, sandwiches are better in company.
