Intervention

Pain!

Pure, unimaginable pain seared through Jerry's body as he felt crushed by an insurmountable pressure!

He couldn't think or speak since all that registered in the poor boy's mind was the unfair agony he was experiencing.

'Make it stop! Make it stop!' His mind rang.

No, the moment he thought of that, Jerry instantly chided himself, and returned to his resolute demeanor. Gritting his teeth and enduring the hardship that was already breaking the bones in his body, the Lower Class boy held on to his determination.

'I can't lose… I can't give up now…'

If he was to go down here, what inspiration would be left for those behind him? Once again the Lower Class would live in the shadow of those with a higher status. There was no way he could allow that!

Besides… there was one other reason he couldn't back out now.
