Trigger Warning: Violence; Bullying

Who wants to look like everyone else? That's so boring. Troy thought to himself as he readied himself for school.

Troy considered himself blessed; at least as an American teen, he wasn't being hunted for his limbs because of their perceived "good luck," like other teens who looked like him that lived on the continent of Africa in the country of Tanzania.

And despite what Troy's classmates said about him, when he looked in the mirror, he never saw a "powdery red-eyed freak" or "a tumbleweed-headed ghost boy." Instead, he saw an albinistic stud with a heart of gold.
