This short story deals with a situation that most young boys find themselves involved in while establishing their boundaries.  It’s about marking their territory, and in keeping with this idea, the reader should enjoy this tale of a young boy trying to spread his wings.

The story is set in a suburban neighborhood of North Texas in the 1960’s; Mike and Randall both wanted to be the “King of the Neighborhood” among their playmates. See how this bigger-than-life problem (for a small boy) was finally solved.
