Intro:

/r/FanFiction continues to bravely venture into the world of prompts. This time we had three challenges available. Hop over to the old Reddit post to see more.

Cruelty.
Show us an act of cruelty by one character against another, without turning whoever practices that fine art into a monster or a bully. In fact, give us a fully fleshed out account of cruelty without taking sides. Let us be neutral observers. A bit like a nature documentary where the lion gets the gazelle.

The Random Words
With a twist. I generated three words, and writers had to fit at least two (or all three, if they wanted to) into the challenge. These words needed to the central theme.

The Red Shirt.
(Brought to you by /u/Deejaymil)
Write from the POV of one of the nameless, or briefly named, victims to the heroes plot armor. Whether it's an actual red shirt from the Enterprise, a victim in a procedural crime show, a soldier fighting along side a Stark somewhere, or maybe one of the countless poor sods surrounding our everyday heroes. You get the picture. The hero won't save them.
