'Miss. Harriette's Home for the Musically Talented' I read off the old, rusted billboard that almost looked like it was going to fall off the brick building it was mounted to. I frowned as I walked up to the door like I did everyday for the past 5 years. I scurried upstairs to my lonely solitude. I pulled my sheet music I had been working on, out of my worn backpack and placed it on the piano. I started playing chords and warming up fingers. I was just about to start playing my song when Miss. Harriette burst in and started yelling at me. "Why do you even try to play?! It sounds HORRIBLE! I don't even know how your mother convinced me that you were talented enough to be in this home. You are dishonoring this orphanage!" I just sat there and listened as I always did. "We have a reputation to uphold and ever since you were dropped off here, it's been going down the drain! I understand why your mother didn't want you! Now stop making such a racket!" She finished and stormed out. "Worthless!" I heard her scream halfway down the hall. I got up an moved to my bed. It was getting late and I was tired from my walk I just took, so I closed my eyes. Despite my efforts to fall asleep, my thoughts kept me awake. "Worthless!" kept ringing in my mind an I couldn't stop thinking about my mother.
Morning came upon me slowly. I quietly got out of bed and put my hoodie on. I stealthily snuck out, trying to avoid Miss. Harriette. I ran away from the so called 'home' as fast as I could hoping nobody would see me. When I got a safe distance away, I stopped and sat down on a bench to catch my breath. When I was ready, I got up again and started walking downtown. I went down my usual secret path and sat in my usual spot to draw in front of a complex. I started sketching the sunrise. I got lost in my drawing and almost didn't notice the man that looked like he had a hangover, stumble down the sidewalk with, what looked like his fiancée from the ring on her finger, stabling him. When they got closer, I could see that they were maybe in their early twenties. He looked very familiar but I couldn't place my finger on it. I was startled when he tripped over my foot. I heard a loud thud and got up and quickly ran down a back alley. I was never meant to stand out. "Stay in the shadows and you'll be safe." My father used to tell me. I was brought out of my thoughts when my face hit the pavement. A pain shot through my head. Everywhere hurt. I heard heavy footsteps coming towards me. I tasted blood and metal. Black.
