"Hey, kid."
A foot nudging in my side, a shadow across my face. My other side cold – no furry pillow.
I crack my eyes open.
"Hmm?" I ask the silhouetted man looming over me. One of my arms flops up to shade my eyes, but I still can't see his face.
Instead of an answer I get more of his boot in my ribs. "Ow."
"Come on, get up, kid."
I roll over and push myself up.
Dizziness.
I swallow thickly and I'm kneeling. Blinking to keep back those black spots dancing in my vision.
"You can't sleep here," the man states.
Now I can see he's a cop, the blue uniform, the black boots, his arms crossed.
"'Kay." I use the fence to help me get up - my legs are so tired - grab my bag of trash and my coat. Head out.
Pray that damn cop doesn't say anything else to me.
He doesn't.
