All alone

Dangerous business

      I wake up early. It was only too natural wake to up this early. I had my business to attend to. I had expected to find those kids to still be fast asleep but lo and behold, they actually woke up earlier than me and were already packing up and getting ready to leave.
"Wow, you guys wake up really early don't you", I said as I walked down the rotting mansion stairs. "Oh, so you're finally awake", said the girl with brown hair. "So you guys wake up earlier, so what? Kids like you guys should get more rest", I said. "We don't have time for leisurely rest like that", the other girl stated as the rest continued to pack.

         "Well, since you all are still here, take this I said tossing them some canned beans and meat". "What are you trying to pull here?", One of the boys said. "I'm just trying to be nice", I said shrugging my shoulders,"I can take it back if you want". "Thank you for letting us stay the night in this place", the brown girl said as she slung her bag over her shoulder. "Just don't get yourselves killed out there", I said smirking.

       When they left, it was so quiet again. So.......empty again. I miss the time when I didn't have to hide out here. When people populated the streets, when everyone was so happy. When I was so happy. I missed those times so much. I snapped out of it, they were gone and there is nothing I can do about it. Life goes on and we must go with it.
