What happens after Amber is evicted from her flat- innuendo and introduction of some edgy themes


Tell my love to wreck it all
cut out all the ropes and let me fall
my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
right in this moment this order's tall
Skinny Love, Bon Iver


Amber walked along the street in the rain, with nothing but a duffle bag. The rain was getting heavier and Amber was getting wetter. She spotted the bridge up ahead, for tonight; she thought that it would be her best bet. She hurried towards the bridge where other people were already gathered. There were fires burning in old dustbins with around a dozen people surrounding it, trying to keep themselves warm.

"Who's this Straggler" a middle aged man said with a deep croaky voice while making eye contact with Amber

"I don't mean to intrude" she answered back politely "but I've just been evicted and I need somewhere to stay tonight"

"Well, you can't stay here," the man croaked back "this here plots already taken"

A woman who appeared to be the same aged rolled her eyes at him before proceeding with "Don't listen to Dave, he's been embittered by all of these years on the streets and besides it'll be good to get a little youth amongst us oldies" she smiled which provided Amber with a little comfort. For now she felt she could trust these people but she wasn't entirely sure.

"What age are you?" one man asked roughly.

"I'm 23" Amber replied

"I like them young" one man replied

"Yeah, me too" said another "they make easy targets"

Amber suddenly felt lost again, she was uncomfortable being with these people and she knew that life was going to be different now. Life on the streets can do terrible things to people, after being there, your life will be transformed and not for the better.

Amber sat down against the wall and the men who she believed to be Dave, Zac and Brick, Brick wasn't his real name obviously but that's what he seemed to be called, congregated in a circle and began to whisper

"So which one of us will shag her first" she heard one say although unsure as to who, she tucked her head into her knees to try and block out the world. Amber's Life was different now and she knew that but she hoped that she wouldn't be like this forever, that she would get back on her feet someday. She prayed that night that things would get better, but by now she was sure that no-one was listening, if they was she wouldn't be stuck in a place like this fending for her life.
