Just another beautiful day in my lovely home granted it's not the biggest one but it is big enough for my family and I. I am the only child and I have two parents Marry and Jim they are the best people in the entire world. "BREAKFAST CASEY", my mother shouts from down the hall, I jump up and run as fast as I can to the kitchen table ecstatic for the food about to enter this rumbling tummy. "You know darling you should really slow down because you can seriously hurt yourself if you're not paying attention." "Sorry, mom I just got excited I am sooo hungry." "Well we can fix that problem very quickly just wait one moment for your father and we should be all ready to join for prayer" "Sounds good to me". Mom and I waited for father but he doesn't show, by the time I start getting anxious mother notices also, I wonder when she is going to say something to me. "Let me go check on him dear I know you're hungry I'll see when he'll be ready." "Ok, no problem I can wait." But the problem was I can't wait, I can't even stop thinking about food and if I do my stomach growls for a meal making me think about it all over again. Thankfully mother walks in with dad. Once everyone gets their plate made and ready to eat we grab each other's hands (it's my turn to pray), "Dear heavenly father we are here together as a family to say how thankful we are to have you in our lives looking over us and I'm so thankful for the life you gave me with my amazing parents, in Jesus name amen". "Now let's dig in!" I grab the biggest slice of bacon I see and bring it towards my mouth but right before I could take a bite I felt water, I hesitate looking all around and wondering why I feel water hitting me. "What's wrong sweetheart, are you okay?" "Fine mom, do you guys feel water?" "no" my parents respond in unison. I know somethings wrong but now they think I'm a lunatic. Something just doesn't feel right, I feel water it's like its everywhere pouring almost like its... its a..... I gasp loudly coughing out all the water that is going down my throat. "How am I so stupid" I yell in the rain, knowing that no one is out there to hear my screaming. I should've known that I could never have a true family and a real house, hell I should've known because I live in the middle of the woods and my house is a Walmart tent (that I had to steal) and my only family is my trusty companion my dog Boy. Right as I realize what I just went through my stomach yearns for food, no wonder I was so hungry in the dream it was the only thing that was actually true, I can't worry about that at the moment I have to focus on the fact that I have to repair my leaking shelter...
