Toliver

Toliver had opinions and wasn’t afraid to express them. He liked standing out in a crowd. He never blended in like Waldo. You could spot Toliver a mile away. He always complained that people walked away from him whenever he came near them.
Even before he had a chance to express an opinion that would make them cringe.
When first I met Toliver I thought that he had lockjaw. He barely spoke at all.
It didn’t take him long to to warm up. Then he was like a manic Robin Williams prodigy. But just as quickly he reverted back to being as silent as a Charlie chaplin film.
