The day before yesterday I fell down the stairs, It hurt. I layed there for a little while just staring up at the ceiling. My head pounded and I swear I could see stars. 
	I could hear the footsteps, as they stomped above me, of the little kids as they ran. I could hear their mother promising them a surprise. I could hear the laughs and the giggles and for a moment, if only just one, I felt like a part of a real family in a strange secondhand type of way. 
	I layed there staring up at the ceiling and I swear, if I squinted just right, I could see the paths the feet above were making. I sighed, and closed my eyes.

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home!
