The Furry

The Alley Man

I pant really fast as I run through the night in the city whit luckly no other humans out at the hour I suddenly can't run anymore and go into a alley way and hide behind a dumpster and cry and cry and cry "I just wanna go home i want my mom I want my dad I want my siblings" I roll into a ball and keep crying whit my eyes clsoued and then I felt something and hear something as I look I see a dog sniffing me ".... Are you lost too" I ask it and pet it "charile charile where are you boy" I hear a elderly male voice call around the corner and the dog started walking to it and looks at me as I get up it then gets behind and nudges me to follow so I do.

I peek around and see a old man whit a beard and a some dirty cloths sitting infront of a barrel on fire in sleeping bag next to metal fence behind the building the dog goes to the man "ah there you are boy" the man says as he pets them then he noticed me peekeing around the conner and I quikly duck behind the wall "ay whos there" he says loudly the dog Charlie goes behind me and pushes me out trying to encourage me to show my self the man looks at me a little shocked and confused then he looks at Charlie and says "where the hell you find that".

I look down at my paws "sorry for bothering you mister I will just leave" as I walk away he suddenly says "wait wait em.... Why not stay a bit..... I hadn't had anyone to talk to in years" I go to the other side of the fire and push a wodden box from the conner to sit on it "so little fox where did you come from" I then explained everything to the man how I was lost being treated like a animal and everything and cryed again and Charlie nuzzles to try and comfort me "ay there there at least you-" he suddenly starts choghing alot "are you OK" I ask "yes yes I'm fine don't worry about me" he responds still coughing a little and passes me a wolly blanket "if you would like you can stay here whit me and Charlie for a bit" I look up at him"thx em" "Mark call me Mark" I smile "ok Mark" I wrap the blanket around me and lay down "good night mark goodnight Charlie" I fall asleep as I hear him say "good night little fox"

The next day I wake up and stretch and see Charlie sniffing marks hand and I go and nudge him to wake him up but he did not move I roll him over then relize he is not breathing "mark mark.... No no no" I cry realising what happend as charile starts howling in sorrow and start hear people coming I look for place to hide and see a wire fence and climb over it and run through the allys crying again and having flash backs running away from the facility and again run till I can't no more.
