Discontent


Hank was the strongest man in Bilton.  He stood six feet six inches tall, broad shouldered and muscular, a mountain of a man with a heart a gentle as the soft caress of a springtime rain.  Anyone and everyone could count on him to lend a hand, whether it was to help clean up trees knocked down from a summer storm or to sip make believe tea with the neighbor girl while her mother ran to the store.

On the day of his thirtieth birthday he packed up and left, no longer content to being the strongest man in town.
