In my defense that would have worked with either a smarter or dumber town.

Next time you'll recalibrate for resting scum face, and then I'll actually be scum

You gave me a gun.

You gave a gun to the person that has no ability to detect scum.

Scum were destined to win from the start.

For those that have been following in my confessional, I give you the final chapter of "Tsi, Mall Cop Vigilante"

The mall had become a jungle of artificial snow and overpriced hope. It reeked of stale popcorn and desperation. I’d seen my share of scraps these past few days, but nothing had prepared me for the feud between the bell ringers and the carolers.

The bell ringers, armed with their relentless clanging, were relentless... a percussion assault. The carollers fought back with harmonized savagery, their voices hitting crescendos that could shatter glass and eardrums alike. Somewhere between "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" and a particularly aggressive round of "Jingle Bells," fists started flying. I was in the thick of it, trying to keep the peace with my badge and revolver.

Then it happened. A blur of red and green sweaters, and I saw an arm cocked back, ready to land a cheap shot. Instinct took over. I raised my arm, aiming my revolver like I was scoring high at the arcade. The satisfying pop was short-lived when I saw the guy go down like a sack of bricks. Problem was, he wasn’t a bell ringer or a caroller... just some poor schmuck in a Rudolph sweater trying to return a blender to Sears.

The mall quieted down for a moment, except for the tinny sound of "Frosty the Snowman" playing over the PA. All eyes were on me. The guy groaned, clutching his chest, and I felt a sinking realization that I’d just hit the wrong reindeer in this holiday stampede.

---

They called me into the office the next day. The manager sat behind his desk, looking like a man who’d just discovered his kid was failing gym class. His tie was crooked, and the coffee stain on his shirt looked fresher than my last paycheck. He didn’t waste time.

“Tsi,” he said, his voice heavy with the fake sympathy of a guy who still has to finish his quarterly report after firing someone. “This just isn’t working out. Shooting a shopper? That’s... well, it’s bad for business.”

I lit a cigarette, even though the ‘No Smoking’ sign on the wall stared back at me like a disappointed mother. “He looked like he was about to swing. It was a judgment call.”

“Your judgment got us a lawsuit, Tsi.” He leaned back in his chair, hands folded like a priest delivering bad news. “You’re out.”

They didn’t even let me keep the revolver. I handed over my badge... cheap tin, bent at the edges, and walked out of the office for the last time. The mall felt colder without the weight of authority on my hip. Kids ran past me, dragging their sticky fingers along the railings, and a guy in a Santa suit gave me a pitying nod as I stepped outside into the December chill.

I stood by the parking lot, watching the snow turn to slush under tires. The bell ringers and carollers were back, this time keeping a safe five feet of distance, the way rival gangs do when they’re on neutral ground. I felt like a ghost, haunting the place I used to patrol.

Maybe the boss was right. Maybe I wasn’t cut out for this. But as the bells jingled and the carols floated on the icy breeze, I couldn’t help but think: someone’s gotta keep the peace in this mall, even if it’s not me anymore.
