The Bored Book

A life Lesson

The drunk stumbled  into the streets and out of the bar. His steps heavy and wavy as he weaved through  the dark and empty pathway. Only a few street  lights  were on and casted curvy shadows that followed him home.

He coughed once and wiped a hand across  his face. His clothes rotted with the sweet smell of alcohol and burning odor of smork. The street and road  appeared empty and hollow at three O clock in the morning.

The world appeared dead and black, yet he, the drunk, reminded alive. A sole fire burning softly in pitch night.

His  feet dully hit the wet peaches of cement. He didn't  register the cold water, his mind was blissfully foggy. He continued tumbled and stumbled his way unwittingly took a path that never lead him home.

"Help! Please  help me!"

The drunk stumbled against a ally wall as the shouts got louder. He wasn't  entirely aware if he was imagining the voice.

It wouldn't  be the first  time.

But no, there she was. Another burning flame  in this night. Her clothes halfed ripped off and her hair fanning behind  like a kite.

"Please, please." She through herself  at the drunk in desperation." They're coming- they're coming."

The drunk stupidly hugged her in his body."N-noo worries babe I g-got  this." His words  stirred as he leaned his face towards hers.

"What are you going  to do? Your just a drunk!" She cried and pulled away.

He felt a spark of irritation.

"You cam-come to me didn't, yah." He pointed at the trash can."Get in there."

The girl winced but did as he told.

The drunk took out one of his cigarettes and lite it up.

Loud footsteps raced through  the ally and soon a group of men appeared.

"Hey, old man. You seen a girl around  here?" Asked what appeared to be the leader.

"I-I thought  i was loo-king at one.."  The drunk rised a finger and pointed at the group.

Needlessly to say he got the beating of his life.

"Ugh, stupid fool!" One member of the group yelled spited at his withering  body.

"Come on, da gal ain't  here. Lets go boys." They made their way out the ally and left.

The girl waited a few more minutes after hearing  they rushing footsteps before  popping out of the trash. She ran to the old man.

"I can't  believe  it, you saved me!" She cried  as she helped him up slowly and leaned him against  the dirty  ally wall.

"Wha- what else do you expect fr-omm a army Jeneeeral?" He stirred at her and she froze.

"You were apart  of the army?" She asked softly but he had already passed out against the wall his fire finally going out.

People  aren't always what you see them as.
And they may not have started out as the person you know them as now.

Life is slow and hard and sometimes it changes what we are till  we don't  know who we are anymore.

You can't  put people  in boxes, they'll just keep surprising you.
