       The welkin was a spectral color. The foggy clouds almost covered the dark sky. The rain was starting to calm down.

I found a shed near the river. The shed was surrounded by tall trees and muddy puddles from the pouring rain. i stepped inside and smelled the fetid stench. I saw some gardening tools. The tools looked dirty from gardening. The shovel was all covered in dirt and soil. The rakes were covered in leaves. The gardening gloves had holes in them and seemed to have been through a lot. The garden hose had a drop of water hanging out of the nozzle. The watering can had a designed flower on the side of the watering can. The flower seemed like an orchid. 

I sat next to a bench, near the rake and the garden hose. It was cramped. But it was what i had. I searched through my satchel and took out my sandwich i had saved. But I decided not to eat it. I sat and waited until i knew where I could find a place i could go. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I didn't want to go back there. I want to go back to my family..

As i dozed off into my sleep, the rain started to pour, and my ravenous stomach growled. Time passed, and i ate half my sandwich. As I sat in the cold, i knew I had to take action. I started making plans on where i should go. 

I've decided on where i should go, The market. I saved enough money so i could at least buy some bread.
