Drabble - A Dark Place

Writers Toybox http://writers-toybox.livejournal.com/  has posted four prompts.
One of them gave me an idea for a drabble.

I know It's been a long while since I posted anything like a drabble or story, and I wonder if there are any of you out there reading Buffy and Angel?

If not then these 100 words are for my own satisfaction.

Ares

A Dark Place.

He hears the radio and the television telling its listeners that the world is a dark place, that times are getting worse, that the world is going to hell. He knows better. The world is a shining place. The people of modern times live in relative luxury. They have food, a roof over their heads, education, medicines, and money to spend. When he was a real boy most people weren’t so lucky. Disease, famine, murder, rape was the order of the day. And then when he was no longer a real boy, he was the dark place
