• The alley was dark... i was alone. Cold. hungry. All I could see was the flashing lights of Back alley Bargains. Gaians running in and out every once and a while. I looked at my clothes. Riped and torned... I had flash backs of my mother and father. Loving. Caring. warm. inviting. A perfect family. Untill the hurricane Katrina came... I wonderful house torn to shreds like my clothes... My mother,father. gone... Forever. My only friends were ellie. the Painting freak. always painting at the right times. And Terry. A very quite nice man. Always giving tips to beat the animated. And Rufus. always purking up my spirits. Having fun. Making me good deals. And Darin... the most dreamiest guy in gaia... perfect personality. Soft choclate hair warm inviting green eyes. Best person i've ever met... Untill The animated took him away to the sewers. I've tryed going down there. but no luck... The sewers are jamed shut. No way around. But I promised Darins mother,sandra, thats hes fine and I will find him soon. But sadly he's been gone for 3 months. Untill yesturday boxbombs were spread across town and thankfully exploded next the sewer and finally a breakthrough!! I found him cold and hungry like i am. But no pulse. I sobbed for days. which turned to weeks. which turned to months. And later turned to years... His family was devistated when he was brought to his door. later on in life I relized I was never aging... Well I was but I didn't look or feel like it... Rufus noticed so did ellie and terry. I was about 70 looking about 16. I was amazed. Ellie was near death rufus was dieing and terry was long gone. Later on I had no friends. They were all gone... Only the ground air and strangers. I ate food scraps. Lived under Gaians porches which they didn't mind. I would give them there newspaper in the morning and they would give me a gold and I would save in my coat pocket. I would uasully get about 10 golds a week. no matter which house I went to they were pretty nutral about it. Like I was part of their daily routine. I never found a calling in life. Never found a simple job. Never found a husband. Never had a family. Never found a life. always my same routine every day. untill Sally came along. A very Nice small elderly lady who gave me a warm bath. New clothes. A warm meal. A warm bed. She was like the mother I always wished I could have back. WE became closer every day. Time passed and soon she was very weak. Very old. Very sick. Never breathing right. could'nt get up. But we both Knew it was time she rested in peace. She didn't want medical care. She didn't want publicity. SHe wanted to leave i peace. I sat holding her hand with tears in my ears for hours Knowing she could leave any second... Her smal weak voice broke the sad silence. "Please. when I go. Take the house. Take my money. Take what you need my child. Find a man. Make a family. Find you're life again. please." She toke her last breath befor I could Anwser. She was still. Still warnm but very still... She was gone. I thought about what she said. I didn't want to be greedy. but. I might need it. I've been living on the streets for about maybe 100 years now... Sally still layed there like she was taking here uasual nap. but I knew she was way passed sleeping. I sat there next to her still thinking. I never did take the money I never did find a job. I never did get a life. A sat on the porch step. Lay on my side and slept. I never woke up. I Never... Lived.
