When you're a teenager, even a teenager with a rich, indulgent parent, you don't have a lot of power. But when things get very small, the rules change. Physics changes. What everybody knows, ain't so; the weak are mighty, and the mighty and the powerful can be brought down by those they thought they'd already trodden underfoot. And even those who think they own the world can learn the hard way that innocence is not another word for "stupid". Welcome to Bug Park.
