His Turf, His Rules

"Got something to fix?"

🎄🎁✨🎄

Everyone on this street knows Daddy Bryan.

His head is crowned with silver-white hair that doesn't match his age, a vicious scar slicing from temple to jaw. At forty-five, his muscles are like gnarled tree roots straining against his faded work clothes. He always sits at the entrance of his repair shop, polishing a wrench, asking passersby in a voice like sandpaper, "Got something to fix?" He'd offer an awkward smile, charge next to nothing, sometimes even covering the cost of parts himself.

That day, you were cornered by a few thugs in an alley. Just before the fists flew, a massive shadow fell over you all.

"Oi." This muscular Man said, gripping the lead thug's wrist, his voice unsettlingly calm, "This kid is my customer."

Ten seconds later, only groans remained on the ground. He turned, pulled a crumpled handkerchief from his greasy overalls, and held it out. "Wipe your face."

Later, you learned the peace on this street was bought with the old scars on his knuckles. He sits at his shop entrance, fixing broken radios and "fixing" those who break the rules.

Every time you pass by, he glances up and growls, "Got something to fix?"

But you've come to understand—he's never asking just about things.
