This is a short story that came too me out of the blue. Enjoy!
Part 1: boulevard if broken dreams
Humphrey walked home to his trash can. Ever since Kate had Married Garth, Humphrey had moved away from Jasper. He found himself in a nearby town where he had been living for over a year. He couldn't deal with the pain of staying, so he jumped on the train and went where ever it took him. Humphrey spent many nights wishing he could go back to Jasper, see his friends, his sister, Kate. Kate. Kate. That was Humphrey's favorite thing to say. He loved saying her name. It meant so much to him.
When Humphrey returned to the trash can that was his home he collapsed next to it. His Friend Ranger-who was a cat- walked up to him.
"might rain tonight." The black furred cat said.
"looks like it." Humphrey said in his usual upset tone.
"I'm going for a walk." Humphrey sated and got up.
"See ya."
"see ya"
as Humphrey walked a flash back came to him.
FLASHBACK:
Humphrey was a pup, an innocent pup. That had done nothing wrong, but all good things come to an end. He had been playing with his Best Friend Zach. Zach was a white furred wolf with red eyes. He was cool, people nicknamed him the demon for fun. Humphrey was showing Zach a game he invented called log boarding. As they were getting on the board they heard a scream. They looked at each and ran. They looked down from the cliff they were standing on. Humphrey and Zach watched viscous wolves Attack wolves from their pack. Suddenly something grabbed the both of them and threw them down below. Zach hit the ground with a thump and a crack. Humphrey got up and examined Zach wasn't moving or breathing. Humphrey knew what happened. He started to cry as the cold wet rain fell onto his smooth, soft fur.
present:
As Humphrey walked a song came to his head it was one that he had remembered from when he was a pup. His mother sang it to him once so it meant a lot to him. He started to sing it out loud.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I walk alone
I walk a
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a
My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Humphrey sighed when he finished the song. Everything had gone wrong in Humphreys life. His parents and best friend died at young age. He lost the girl of his dreams and on the brink of death because he hadn't eaten in two days or drank. Humphrey eventually came back to his trash can that was in the alley. Ranger was gone. Probably searching for food.
Humphrey woke up the next morning feeling... good!? Humphrey hadn't felt this good in about a year or so. Humphrey looked around, nothing different, same trash can, same alley, same nothing else in it. Ranger was back and dragging something!
"what is that?" Humphrey asked.
"it's a little something I like to call food that was given to me." And when ranger said that Humphrey felt even better and his hope that was once lost had come back again.
