Outside the cabin, the wind howled through the trees, while inside, the old woman's fire was nearly out. The old woman was fast asleep; she was deaf, and half-blind. She had no family. It was only her left in the world. Yes, there were other people, but no one knew about the lady except one person. And that was me. Yes, that's right, the delinquent 17 year old girl, knew about some poor, sick, old lady that nobody even cares about.

What does one do when they come across such a situation? One would usually go and help them. One may just ignore, but feel guilty so they also go and get help. Of course there are other possible solutions on what to do. But then everyone's not me, so what do I do? I just come back to the 'house' just about every day to sit and think about life. The lady doesn't notice of course. She can't see me or hear me. It's just the perfect spot where I can chill without anyone at my back.

It may seem creepy in such a situation. Spying on an elderly person is not what a typical teenager would do. But then, I'm not normal, well who is? Anyway, I'm an only child now; I used to have two siblings.

I'm also on the run.
