Hero

The brim of his hat nearly hides his eyes and the shoulders of his coat stick out like wings on his young frame. Try as he might, he can't keep the sleeves of his coat from slipping down to cover his hands. His belt is pulled past all of the holes and is folded under itself to keep pants that are two feet too long tight to his little waist. Socks pool around his ankles, topping shiny, black shoes that are 5 sizes too large for his young feet. The clunk of his shoes echo through the hall with each step. Carefully he walks, trying to hold the shoes to his feet while stumbling over the excess of clothing. Frustrated with the weight of the coat, blinded by the brim of the hat, he is berated for his stumbling, scolded for not filling his Father's clothes.
