It's not who you were but who you will be. I've been told all my life. I live in North Carolina in the USA, so you'd think my life is perfect. Ha. I've heard better jokes from 1st graders, that's why I left. I ran away from home at the age of 16.
Yeah, yeah. Boohoo poor little kid. Shut the fuck up. I was sick of this world, sick of all you idiots walking though life blind to everything but what actually effects you. Even then you hate it half the time, because it makes your life hard. Oh no, the McDonalds is closed, how will I live with out my big mac!
Fuck. Off.
That's why I left, to get away from you people, to leave with those that actually see our world for what its worth. Well, that was the plan anyway.
I left on Dec 28th 2009, I couldn't put up with the holidays any more. So one night I walked out the door after my parents had gone to bed and never returned, just not the way I had planned.
I was on my way to New York.
"Now boarding the 105 to Charleston, South Carolina. Now boarding the 105 to Charleston, South Carolina."
I walked up to the vending machines and checked them for change, a quarter and a nickel. Now I just need a dollar and twenty cents.
"Now boarding the 128 to New York, New York. Now boarding the 128 to New York, New York."
That's me, I head to the bus and and find a window seat towards the back of the bus. I wait till the bus has left the station and then with my head resting against the window I drift of to sleep.
I have a strange dream as I rode that bus, maybe it was the rattling of the bus or maybe it was the day old burrito that I had for dinner. Anyway, I dreamed of these creatures, there were four of them, three of them were fighting the fourth.
The one loner, seemed to be nothing more then darkness, he seemed to be working on something while he fought off the other creatures, because he kept returning to some sort of window. The other three creatures were working in tandem to try and stop the dark one from his task, the one that appeared in charge had six legs, a long neck and short little wings that looked completely useless. His two subordinate kind of looked like dinosaurs, one was a silver and pick t-rex with what looked like a large dorsal fin and the other was like a blue and silver brontosaurus with armor. Even though it was three against one the dark one winning, but before the battle was over I was awaken by the bus hitting a pothole.
I sat up with a start, the woman across the isle looks up from her book "Welcome back to the world of the living, sleeping beauty. We were wondering if we were going to have to call the coroner."
"Where are we?" I blurt out.
"We just past though Virgina. Are you going to go back to la la land now?"
"No," I say thinking this conversation is getting a bit odd.
"Could I get you to watch my two boys? They're sitting right in front of you. I could really use some sleep."
"Sure," I lean over the seat in font of me to see two boys about ten playing their DS's. "What..." she's already asleep.
One of the boys pop up and peer at me from over the seat "Have you ever played Pokemon?"
"What?" I said in shock at his sudden appearance, "Uh yeah, I've played gold and silver."
"Gold and silver? Those are so old, here watch me play, this is Pokemon Platinum." his brother pops up and stares at me for a minute then he starts watching his brother's game.
The bus shudders, the wind is howling outside. I watch the kid play for awhile his brother sits back in his seat and starts plying his own game. I get bored and look out the window, I realize that we are going though some mountains, suddenly the curves start to effect me. "Hey kid, I'm going to the bathroom for a minute don't get in trouble," the kid just nods, not even looking up at me. I make my way back to the tiny crowded bathroom, fortunately unoccupied. I get in and empty my stomach when I feel the bus shudder again, I don't think anything about it till I start to leave. Just as I grab the handle the bus jerks and I'm knocked off my feet, my head hits the edge of the toilet and I black out.
