As I walk home I consider something I have always considered for as long as I can remember. 

Running away. 

I stop. I glance at my back's scars. I look at my scarred wrist that Dad had grabbed too hard way too often. 

I search the space in front of me. It is still a long way away from home, if I can even call it that. I scan the way I came. It appeals more to me then my room in the cave where I am ignored

I sigh. If I die out all alone in the forest It'll be okay, no one would care anyway

I turn away, away from every horrible thing I ever none, into the dark night.
