Lost but Not Alone

Chapter one

I look out the shattered glass window. I see the government aid workers handing out food to people. The line seems to go on for miles and miles. I see my friend Gram in the line waiting just like the other people. He sees me he smiles and waves. Smile and wave back to him. Then he gets his daily ration of bread and dried meat. And he walks back to his shack. In line I also see my mom, he is getting our family's daily ration.

I was bored of just sitting. I just wanted to run. So I got up and ran out the door and started to run threw the village towards Gram's house. I see Gram threw the shattered glass window I scream to him.
"HEY GRAM! DO YOU WANT TO GO RUNNING?"
"YA SURE GIVE ME A MINUTE!"
I see him run out of sight for a minute. Then he ran out in his shoes.
"First one to the hill wins?" He asks
"Yes, get ready to eat my dust!" I taunt.
"READY?SET?GO!!!!" We screamed at the same time.

I bolted off I swerved threw people at the Sunday market like they were pillions. I see Gram taking a different route. He was taking the long route going around the market instead of going through it.

While I was looking at what Gram was doing. I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings, I ran full speed into a wooden pole that held the nation's flag. I hit the pole with a loud thud, I hit the ground like a sack of potatoes. After I hit the pole everyone in the marketplace was looking at me.
"I AM FINE!" I scream to nobody in particular.
Then everyone went back to what they were doing.
Gram jogged over towards me and grinned until he saw my forehead.
"Cass-Cassia your head."
"Ya what about it?"
"It's got a massive bruise on it that's a purplish-color."

I quickly cover my head with a piece of cloth.
"Is it bad?" I ask Gram
"It looks like you ran into a pole." He said jokingly.
"Ha-ha very funny Gram." I say as I playfully push him.
"Do you still want to go to hill anyways?"
"Ya sure."
So and Gram weave threw the crowd of people towards the hill. As we walk I ask Gram
"How is your day today?"
"Good, but I am still starving. I am losing weight quickly."
"Same, the food portions are getting smaller and smaller."
"I think the government should give us more food. And not spending it on a war that we know that we are going to lose." He said angrily
"I agree with you Gram. We know that we get more and more hungry everyday." I reply
"We should send a letter to the government explaining our point of view about food distribution." Gram said.
"Yes." I agreed
We finally got to the hill one lonely tree with a lonely swing.

So I sat and Gram started to push me on the swing. My legs swing back and forth and back and forth. I stop with my feet.
"Hey Gram." I ask
"What Cassia?" He replied
"Do you think that rich families are sometimes more generous than the government sometimes?" I ask him staring right into his light blue eyes.
"I think so. Well how does the government get the money?" Gram answers back.
"That's very true." I say
Then Gram starts to push me back and forth. And back and forth. He pushed me on that swing for seemed like hours.

***
As Gram and I walk back towards my house (it's more like a shack). I stop and ask him.
"Do you think life can or will get better in the near or far future? "

"Well that's a complexed question." He said scrunching his nose causing me to giggle.
"Yes, I believe life will get better."

Hey Guys!

I hope you enjoyed this chapter of Lost but not alone. So if you wanna know something that happened to me in real life. I actually ran into a pole. Here is the story so I was racing my friend in to the school because we were outside for gym class. I turned around and said "I win!" But I didn't realize that there was a pole right in front of me. It was so funny!
