Treatment

It is a glorious Monday afternoon. EC, a well-to-do student is walking along a school corridor. Seized by a sudden urge to count his money, he stops walking and whips out his wallet. He then proceeds to thumb through the numerous dollar bills. KESTER, a not so well-to-do student happens to pass by. Spying EC and his stash of cash, KESTER sees an opportunity. KESTER dashes towards EC, swiping a number of dollar bills before making his escape. EC is taken by surprise, but quickly recovers and gives chase.
KESTER sprints down a flight of stairs. EC follows in hot pursuit. KESTER then scampers up and down grassy slopes. EC follows in hot pursuit. KESTER darts in and out of corridors and classrooms, trying to throw EC off his scent. EC is undaunted, and manages to keep KESTER in his sights.Out of ideas, KESTER tries one last desperate attempt at losing EC. KESTER heads into deep, dark regions of the school gymnasium. EC is hesitant, but decides to follow.
A mad chase around the gymnasium ensues. KESTER and EC begin their perilous journey, ducking and dodging through the balancing beams. KESTER then does a series of back flips and tumbles, in hope of evading EC. Encountering a wall of sponge, KESTER executes another flip to clear the obstacle. EC is unable to perform a similar trick, and thus finds another way through.KESTER pauses in his tracks to take a rest. Sensing weakness, EC moves in for the kill. Much to EC’s surprise, KESTER demonstrates great acrobatic abilities, performing a series of flares to deter EC from coming any nearer.KESTER then attempts to make another getaway, pulling off another mammoth vault. EC compromises with a powerful leap, managing to stay on KESTER’s track.KESTER mounts the high bar, swings a few rounds, and then leaps off to strike EC in the chest. EC manages to parry the blow, but is knocked to the floor just the same. KESTER takes advantage of EC’s prone state, to stage his last escape attempt.KESTER clambers onto the trampoline, and begins to bounce. Higher and higher he goes. On the verge of jumping out of the gymnasium, KESTER indulges in a little showboating. He executes another double back flip. Making a mistake, KESTER is thrown off balance, and fails to make a proper landing. Thus, he is tossed out of the trampoline onto the cold hard gym floor.
As KESTER sits there nursing his wounds, EC creeps up on him. An exhilarating wrestling death-match ensues. The struggling twosome is getting close to the edge of the bottomless sponge pit of death. EC employs a simple judo trick to toss KESTER to his gruesome death in the sponge. Triumphant, EC exits the gymnasium.Realizing that he never got his money back, EC again pulls out his wallet to count his dollar bills. Another not so well-to-do student, FANG, sprints by and snatches EC’s entire wallet. EC is exhausted, and can only look on helplessly.
