The trilogy of Gotham.

Part One

Am standing before a grocery store near a gas station in the town of shan. Feeling pangs in the pit of my stomach and the desire for something to eat overwhelms me. Little did I know that I was so hungry.

I feel all sweaty, my vision gets blurry and the need to rob comes to my thinking.
The memory of stealing from my father comes into my mind once again and I try rubbing it off. Its not something I needed right now. Then tears flood down my cheeks.

Walking closer to the store,I contemplate whether to proceed with this though I knew deep down it wasn't right.

I grab a can of soda from the refrigerator and some cookies then look left and right to witness anyone spying and dash out.

"Hey hey, I've seen you," someone runs direct to me and I feel my collar dragged then I halt.

"Am sorry,"
"You don't need to be, am Alex," his now calm when his standing in front of me.

Am left speechless.

"Kathryn," I replied and fled.

I get a strategic position behind some garbage dump just by the corner and devour my supplies then finish up by drinking the soda.

So far the day was accomplished then I drift to deep slumber.

I wakeup at the sounds of someone close by to me and by instinct I jump to my feet and bolt, good thing I trusted my strides. I had such long legs that I'd not known of any peer who'd out competed me before.

Same to my father his men didn't get to catch me after I left town, I took so long strides to be caught. That was seven towns behind. And if this meant I'd to keep running, let it be.

I was ready for this.

I come across a store and move closer admiring the sneakers on display. Looking at things that I love just draws me closer. I walk into the store even if it means just window shopping, my ego would be filled.

"Hey," the lady I saw at the counter walks closer to me. "You love those?" she stares at a pair am holding.

Am dumbfounded.

" You could take them,"she continues.

"What!" this shocks me because I've not witnessed grace all my life."Are you sure?"

"Yeah yeah. Try them out," she walks to the counter and I follow her.

Something I have to admit,I've never seen grace all my whole life and seeing two people grace me in this town makes me puzzled. Fast of all for the brown haired guy Alex, with hazel eyes. Such a beautiful guy. Yes his beautiful and with so much grace. I'd imagined to be taken behind bars for that small robbery.

Then here is Ms Smith. She offered me  a pair of snickers alongside sweats and discarded my worn out filthy stained cloths and shoes.

Indeed I myself was  filthy, letting my feet out of my old sneakers produced the worst odour ever and this made us both laugh in unison. Thinking about when last I had a shower was a mystery, my journey to this place was so far three weeks if I could keep count. And a shower was the farthest from my mind that time.

I was running away from a crime I committed.

Far more a well paying job awaited me tomorrow with shelter over my head.

This town was indeed graced with peace and there was nothing like the authority after me, it was a town of its own accord. Everything was so calm.
