I walked into the warn down, manhattan apartment. It was sad. Well I wasn't sad. It looked sad. The room was dark, it was raining out side. I let out a small sigh as I let my tiny, 11 year old, body plop on the big red couch.
I should probably tell you a little about myself, ok. Here it goes. My name is Ruby Masita. Pronounced ROO-BEE MASS-EAT-A. I was born and raised in Tidler county Connecticut. My parents died in a head on, car to train, collision when I was 9, I've been alone ever since. Everyone thinks I died in the accident along with my parents. The newspapers say: missing child in head on collision. I haven't talked to anyone in years. As soon as I found out they were dead, I packed up all the money I could find in my parents safe, and ALLOVER the house. And left. Left for manhattan. I eventually arrived and snuck into an abandoned apartment. I never use electric, it costs money, something I don't have much of. I normally only spend 3-5 dollars a week on food. But I have one thing I like to do... One thing that makes me... Happy.... Makes me forget all the bad things... I paint pictures. Not just your normal paint and canvas pictures. My paint is blood red.

Do y'all like it so far? It seems bad to me. Sigh. Haha. Sorry it's so short!
