"Boy! Come!  NOW!" the father barked as he walked to
the door.  He stopped just inside and glared at his young
son.
     Trembling and with tears streaming down his face,
young Genma Saotome obeyed his father.

Agh, at least most of Ranma's training is voluntary. Now I see how Genma could 
have become so possessive with martial arts.

I know this story was predictable from the start.  
I just watched a man down the street be hauled from his
house in handcuffs for beating the crap out of his 12
year old son.  It was either this story or punch holes in
the walls myself.  How anyone can do that to their own
child is beyond me.  
Sorry.
If someone wants to take this and make it a real story,
be my guest.  I want nothing more to do with it.

It's a pretty good short story, leave it at that. As for the guy beating on 
his 12 year old kid, I hope he goes off and dies somewhere.
