The streets have been my life as far as I'm concerned....It's more comfortable when you're not given attention...you know, everyone just passes by... You know everyone yet no one, from the owner of the coffee stall across the streets to the boutique just close to your location. You know your bearings too well that no map is required...it's all stuck up in your head. I'm not special...not to anyone...but hell yeah I've got the looks...just concealed under a sheet of dirt and mud crusts. She's the only one able to see through all the dirt...the real me... "Want a burger", a thin girl in a mini skirt and green blouse approaches me, smiling as though she has no worries in the world, teeth white as the milky way, even in braces she'd look prettier, hair blonde and curled to match her gold earrings. She wore no make-up, yet it seemed she did.

Decadent

My hand slaps against my mouth as I try to shut myself up. Don't make too much noise...or he'll hear you. A vehicle's door opens then slams shut. I don't hear footsteps...but as the minutes go by I begin to hear them; the footsteps get louder and louder and louder, matching the sound of my thundering heart. That's when I see his shadow cast over the ditch...over the place where I tried to hide. "Well," he says with a smile in his voice. "I wonder where he could've gone...the footprints stop here...so I wonder if he just...disappeared?" My body begins to tremble. I can feel it now. The pain. I can feel the pain already. He jumps down into the ditch...he stands directly in front of me, with his back facing me. My hand presses harder against my mouth as I try to suppress my whimper, but it's way too late now. But his body tenses up when he hears it. He laughs bitterly as he turns around slowly, and his eyes cut through my camouflage easily. "There you are."
