I scanned the room again and again, over and over, waiting.. hoping for a solution. I glanced at the small old yellow vent in the corner of the room. It was no where near big enough to climb in but to me it gave me a sense of comfort. I picked myself up and scurried across the small room to get a closer look at the vent. I ducked down and peered through the skinny holes into pitch blackness travelling through eternity.
I walked over to the door and saw a bulky metal lock. I tugged on it but it didn't even wobble. I pushed and pulled forward and back over and over but nothing. It won't budge at all. Great. I banged my head against the wall wake up brain. I try to think but my mind is clouded with all sorts of questions and I can't think straight. I slump down beside the door and put my head in my hands. I sat there thinking for a while. What could I possibly do? I felt lost. I was lost.
I decided to search myself for any clues. I decided to check my pockets. I thoroughly searched through them, every single one, hoping to find something, anything, no matter what it was. I felt every part of my rugged cargos, turning all the pockets inside out. Nothing. Although I'm not one to give up before trying. A strong gush of frosted wind flew from under the door that I was sitting by. I began to shake. So..cold.. My arms were bare and I rubbed them up and down to try and warm myself up. I went to cuddle my legs and started rocking slightly when i felt a warm piece of fabric. How did I not realise? I unravelled it from around my skinny thighs to see a massive hoodie rapped in a long sausage shape. I detangle it and without even a second of thought fling it over my shoulders and thread my tiny arms through the large holes. I hold the sleeves and lean against the wall tightly hugging it. Thousands of thoughts rush through my head. So many questions. No way of knowing. Tears stream down my face. I'm missing something I don't even remember. Missing a life I don't know if I ever had. Missing people I don't even know if I ever knew. The hope I earlier had is gone. I sit completely still, and cry myself to sleep.
