"I watched the deep blue of the night sky smothered the calm pinks, yellows and oranges like the quilt that covered my bedspread. Slowly at first, as if to make sure the quilt fell into the right place then all at once. Flecks of stars appeared, speckling the dark sky like blood on a fresh cut, welling up, slowly but surely becoming more visible. As the other houses lights went off one by one, I took steps towards the large window on the other end of the room. I cautiously opened the window, careful not to disturb anyone. The metal rods over my window were quite thick but on the other hand, were spaced far apart. Stepping on the ledge, I leaned on the sturdy bars for support the study metal pushing against my bare feet. The metal rod on the furthest right was spaced more towards to the left and gave me enough space for me to squeeze through and so, I did and jumped down from the window - easy since my room was on the first floor of the house.
And like every other night, I ran towards the border of the town where all the vagrants were, the darkness of the night sky covering me."
