You walked down the stone pavement, shivering. It was cold out and there wasn't much you could do about it. After all, how were you supposed to know it was going to rain? Now there were no stars in the sky, nor a moon to illuminate it. You sighed, crossing the road, ready to open the door to your apartment already. Living in city streets like these was awkward ever since the monsters from Underground appeared. You keep your distance.

You never try conversing with any monsters because it makes you feel like you're being judged, somewhat, for every action. You were always afraid of being racist as well.

You threw the black, fluffy blanket over his form and locked the door in your living room, going to your own room for a good sleep. He would probably want an explanation for all of this after he woke up, all hung over, you would think to yourself. So, you turned out the lights and flopped down onto your bed, lazily tugging at your blanket to put it over yourself. Dreams here I come, ha ha ha...
