“Would you like to buy my ticket? It’s an all day pass,” an accented voice behind us broke into my thoughts, “I’ll take American bills too.” Everyone, except my dad who had gone off to find someone to fix the machine, spun around to get a good look at the speaker. The stranger was a tall man in his twenties with what looked like dusty blonde hair and deep brown eyes. I was hopeful for a moment until I looked at him a second time. I immediately disliked him. He had dark lines under his eyes that made him look older than he probably was. I guess the main reason I didn’t like him was because he looked a little like a gangster. He wore a dark gray jacket with the hood casting a shadow over a good portion of his face and had a

“Argh,” my dad groaned, “this is broken!” He kicked the money exchange machine angrily. “Anyone have a spare Euro?” Nobody replied, of course. My dad sighed, “You guys stay here. I’ll get somebody to - ” The rest of his sentence was drowned out by the upcoming Tube. We had been touring the Big Ben and the London Bridge at night because the almost-full moon would make a nice background that my dad wanted to capture. Once he had been satisfied with his pictures, we left for the Tube station. I had also gotten some pretty nice pictures that I was proud of.

I liked to pretend I was an adult and was able to do adult stuff, like telling bullies to go away and protect people.

I think I was nine and I remember suddenly being very scared. I remember faintly thinking, stupid is a bad word, but all my excitement was gone and I was feeling scared. My sister hid behind my mom. She was only seven and this was in the middle of our vacation! I touched my sister’s hand, not only to comfort her, but also to comfort myself, looking for my dad. To my relief, he came storming over, having overheard, and he was seething with fury. He pointed a trembling finger at the stranger and said scathingly, “You don’t insult my wife like that!” He took a menacing step forward. “We already said no and that’s our final answer.
