I woke up this morning curled up on a park bench gripping my hoodie, i sat up and looked around and just looked at all the people staring ant me and just whispering to each other, they're probably talking about me. I look like a mess. After sitting there for a few minutes i heard my stomach growling. "Damn I'm hungry." I reached into my pockets and fumbled around looking for some money but everything was empty. "Fuck I left my stash at home, what am I gonna do for some food?" As someone passed by me I reached out to to stop him "Excuse me sir, I'm so sorry to bother you but could I ask you for a litt..." before I could finish he cut me off "No I'm not giving you money, fucking whore." He snapped as he pulled back his arm and walked away. Though I only asked one person I gave up. I didn't want to have to do that more, people are alone more snotty when you're the "homeless" one. I got up and grabbed my backpack and threw it on. "Guess I better go look for some food." I started walking down the street looking around to see if there were anybody that looked nicer than the other. I passed an older lady that looked sweet, I guess it couldn't hurt to ask. I caught up to her and called out to her "Excuse me miss!" She stopped and turned around "yes?" She slowly muttered, I threw on a light smile "You wouldn't happen to have a few dollars I could ask for would you?" The old lady smiled and reached into her purse "Oh of course sweetie! Hold on just a sec I gotta find it." The old lady was digging through her purse for a little bit when she finally pulled out a fist of crumpled up cash "Here you go sweetie" she said with a wrinkled smile on her face "Thank you so much ma'am".
I was looking around for a place to grab something to eat when I crossed a little hot dog stand, I walked up to it and took a look at the menu "Uhh, I'll just have a plain hotdog with ketchup please" the man just nodded an started preparing it, I reached into my back pocket and grabbed out the money and started to unfold it all "1.. 2.. 3.. 4, alright so I got four dollars" I tried to flatten out the bills as much as I could while the man finished wrapping up the hot dog in the foil. He placed it on the counter "That'll be $6.50" my face turned white in embarrassment "you wouldn't take $4 by any chance would you?" The man gave me an angry look "get out of here, I don't give out free food to you people." I just walked away. I continued to walk down the streets in search of looking for something to eat, I felt my pockets and noticed that the money was gone. "Fucking hell!" People turned their heads looking over at me like I was crazy.
Hours had passed and I'm starving now, my stomach has turned from growling into full blown tiger roars. I went into an alley way and sat next to a dumpster "I'm too tired for this, why the hell is it this hard to find food" just as I was saying that a nearby door busted open and a couple people in cooking outfits walked out and tossed a couple bags into the dumpster "God those bags smell amazing." The two guys lit a cigarette and just started talking, I didn't wanna get caught trying to go dumpster diving and I figured that when they went inside I'll just do it then. About 15 minutes passed when finally they stopped talking and went back inside. I quickly jumped up and reached into the garbage and pulled out the bag and set them on the ground. I tore open the bag and a cloud of steam came spewing out. There was a ton of decent hot food. Like an animal I started fisting down the food. I know it hasn't been forever since I last ate but I sure felt like it. I kept shoveling it down when the doors slammed open again "Hey!! What the fuck do you think you're doing!" One of the men grabbed me by the collar pulling me away from the bag. I looked up at them glaring down at me "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to I was just so hungry I couldn't help myself." One of the other men whistled "Come her!" He shouted and two men in black suits and rifles around their shoulders. Each one grabbed me by the arms and drug me inside, I was able to find my footing but I still had struggles keeping up with them. Walking through the kitchen I saw that more men in black suits were guarding the other doors. "Where am I?" I asked one of the men carrying me. The one on the right glanced down at me. "You'll see" he chuckled "you're in for a treat" the left man sarcastically said. We left the kitchen and walked into a giant area, it was dark but the lights from all the machines blinded you and all the noice would stab my eardrums. "Woah" I gasped, before I could take it all in we entered an elevator. "Fourth floor" the man on the right said. Another man in black pressed the button and went back into the corned. The elevator jerked the started moving up. Once it reached the top and the doors slowly opened up . It revealed this big room with windows that watched the casino floor. Each of the men holding me up walked forward and threw me on the floor in front of a desk, I dropped to my knees and let out a little whimper. "Hey boss, we found this little slut rummaging through the garbage out back, what you wanna do with her?" I looked up at the desk trying to see the person sitting in the chair when I hear a warm voice "Kill it." He said. Bothe the guards raised their rifles and pointed them at my head. "WAIT WAIT WAIT".
