I stepped into the 7/11 where the elderly man had dropped me off. I glanced around taking in my surroundings and noticed a few men staring at me. I shuddered and turned the other way. I looked at a display of sandwiches and looked for the best deal. They had older sandwiches on sale so picked some up and grabbed a bottle of water. I handed my items to the cashier and she rung them up. I handed her proper change while she exchanged it for the bag containing my food. I grimaced as the plastic bag rubbed the scabbing wounds on my hands from the earlier falls. I sauntered to the ladies bathroom and paused looking at a brightly lit flyer on a bulletin board outside the rooms.
Help Wanted:
Needed: Stabled Hand and Jockey
Where: Stone Meadows Stable, Kentucky
Required: 15- 25 years of age

I ripped off the flyer from the board and shoved it in my pocket I ran into the bathroom and tended my needs. I then ran to the counter and asked for a map of Kentucky to locate Stone Meadows. It was an hour away and I hoped they would take me in. I just needed to get there and contact Ralph.
I begged the lady at the counter to let me borrow the stores phone to call the stables and after a few rings a gruff voice answered.
" Hello, Stone Meadow Stabled. What may I do for you?" The tough voice asked.
" Hi, I'm looking for Ralph? Would he be there?" I questioned.
" Speaking." He replied.
" Hi my name is Avery Hunter and I'm calling about the stable hand or jockey flyer. I think I'm the person for the job." I rambled.
" Well, why don't you come down and we can see what we can do." Ralph the man said.
" I'll try to get there by tonight, do you guys provide a sleeping and eating arrangements?" I questioned.
" If you meet our standards and you are hired then yes, yes there is." he said.
I hung up the phone and gleefully called a taxi I was hoping to be getting a job. I was thrilled. I walked outside to the taxi and hoped into the back.
" Please take me to Stone Meadow Stables." I announced and sat back resting my head on the seat awaiting the place I may call home.
