I'm walking down the street. It's dark and quiet. Just complete silence. From time to time I hear a sound. A leaf falling. Electricity crackling. And silence again .
A vibration in my pocket. Shit. It's my phone. I forgot to get rid of it.
/ Mom? Why are you calling?/
/ Honey ! Where are you ?/
/ I-i needed some alone time so I'm on a walk /
/Again?! It's the third time this week !!
I hang up. I'm just tired of hearing her complaining. It's time to make a change.
A river formed right in front of me. Not re-thinking this again.
Drop the phone. Drop the phone . Just do it. Drop the phone. Now.
And so I do . I hear a splash in the water. And then it's quiet for a second . Now I only hear my footsteps. Scrambling against the roads's rough surface. Thoughs rushing through my head creating different scenarios. But there's only one I can choose. Escape or go back.
Not knowing what I'm doing I run as fast as I can so they can't catch me . Not anymore. Not again.
My brain is exhausted of all the planning. Run away. Fade into the background and never be seen again. I'm not the main character anymore I'm the the one that didn't win the casting. She can't be saved. Not anymore.
I get rid of my ID I cut my hair so I won't be recognized.
I'll live on the streets now. Meet rats and other homeless people. But it's worth it. I'm sure.
/ Excuse me ? Do you have any money ?/
/ Who are you ? And no . If if did I wouldn't be here /
/ I'm Max . And yes you do have cash ./
/ The fuck? Go away/
/ Ya wish. It's my place . /
/ Does it have your name on it?/
/ You know what? Let's start again I'm Max/
/ I'm Carrie /
LIVING ON THE STREETS
Today I found a hat. But it smelled like sweat so I through it away. I found 15€ , an unopened water bottle , a baby's blanket and a pair of earrings. Oh yeah and a "missing " poster of ...well me .
