Dedicated to all the friends who have stood beside me through thick and thin.

Introduction

.....

That was the first time I felt the adrenalin rush. It started with a tingle in my feet. The anger welled up through my body like an electric current. In a flash, I felt I had the strength of ten men. It was such a high. I lashed out. BANG. I hit one of the bullies on the chin. He went over. Then another. Then another. I felt the anger and frustration come out in those first few punches.

I found a strength I never knew I had. I lashed out for all the times the bullies had taunted me, all the times I had been frightened, all the times I’d been hurt and, from that day on, I realised that bullies are cowards, and if you hurt a coward they cry the loudest. I started to whack the bullies and anyone else who stood in my way. God had given me a gift. I lost my fear and gained a power. I knew I was never going to be frightened or ever run away again. From that day on, I moved slowly, ’cos I didn’t have to move for anyone.
