Nikolai

We are only haunted by the things we refuse to accept
-Bridgett Devoue

Nikolai took the fire poker with a grin. "Perfect." Improvised weapon in hand, he turned back to the gourds. With a swing of the poker, he sent a few tumbling down the streets. The poker was heavy enough that it gave them a good shove, much to his satisfaction. Eyeing the sharper end of the poker, Nikolai gave stabbing one of the gourds a try. It gave a furious scream but soon fell silent. Seemed like stabbing worked too.

Determination renewed, Nikolai set about swinging at, stabbing, and otherwise tormenting the pest to the best of his ability. "I hate these things!" He yelled, kicking away one that had attempted to bite his leg. Scowling, he sent the pest flying with a swing of the poker.

Resilience is born even when we feel like we are dying
