"Treeeee i'm hungryyyyy" groaned Potato, ears down. Little potato was always hungry. "Then eat but only a string cheese and nothing more, we still have problem with the taxes." Responds Tree, obviously pissed. Potato of course whimpered, only a single string cheese?! That's nothing! A few knocks on the door could be heard, as Tree opens the door her pissed face turned to fright. It was the house owner with a baseball bat. He said with anger in his voice: "You have three choices: first you give me the money for the taxes right now, second you leave peacefully, or third resist and be locked up in the basement without food, and be left to rot." Tree was shocked of how aggressively the house owner she paid the taxes to reacted, he would usually be so chill all the time. "W-we'll leave peacefully i- i don't have enought money to pay the taxes i'm really sorry mister..." said Tree, in a tone mixed with anxiety, fear and sadness. We had to leave the cozy home we had. "Pack your bags and leave forever, i don't wanna see you again on this property by tomorow." Said the man, leaving. Tree was obviously sad about being kicked out.
We packed our bags, slept for the last time in the little condo and left the next day, Tree in a black jacket and a handbag and Potato with an oversized sweater belonging to Tree. As Tree was walking expecting Potato to follow, Potato was instead walking the opposite way. When Tree turned around to talk to Potato, she finally noticed that he wasn't following her and had no idea where he went to. That's it, a new life as a solitaire wanderer looking for his home, a place where he would feel like he belonged, a cold breeze running down his heart, whispering the way to the place he belongs. He'd hop trains, meet new people and loose them as fast as he met them, follow him and his biggest aventure of his entire life.
