Argh. Finally got this up.
This is the same thing as the Irksome preview. O_o So don't tell me what I already know.
"Life sucks." He mumbled, his head going back against the wall of the alley. He grabbed a doughnut out of one of the boxes, contemplating it for a moment before jamming it in his mouth.
Alright, that was it. He couldn't eat any more until dusk.
He couldn't use all the food. There wasn't much.
He sighed.
"Retarded." He groaned, standing up and dusting himself off. Running from guards wasn't always too much fun.
He glanced upward at the sun just going down over the horizon, visible between the two high rises he was smushed between.
The very first star was beginning to appear in the orange sky. He snorted. He couldn't believe people actually wished on those.
Wishes didn't come true.
They were myths. Lies. Just an excuse for someone to complain.
Someone who shouldn't complain.
It wasn't as if that person had a horn and an antennae, after all.
They didn't have to steal food. They didn't have to do anything. Tossing his head to the side, he sat down, blinking his scarlet eyes and snorting.
Ridiculous.
Life was merely something you were tossed into. At random. With no hope whatsoever.
Anyone else would have said these were negative thoughts.
Though, for him, it was completely and utterly true, not a matter of opinion.
Then again, what would you think if you had just grown up completely alone, stealing food and never living in one place?
Figured as much.
He glanced around. The streets looked empty. After a moment, he dashed for it. Just a few more buildings…
Three more…
Two more…
One more…
Yes!
He skittered into an ally where there laid an escape pod.
He sighed. Well, it wasn't much, but it was home. After a moment, he bent over and curled up in a tight ball, shutting the door almost silently to keep out the cold.
He groaned and shifted. He was almost too tired to sleep.
Though, after a moment, he fell silent, and his eyes shut.
He gave himself up to sleep.
YAY!
Sorry I haven't been writing lately.
Busybusybusy.
Me and TallestBlue are going to JACON in Orlando for their tenth and final year Memorial Day Weekend.
