CHAPTER IV

Depression

"Oh no, I feel so broken and down" said Jerry as he sat in a field, crying "My girlfriend; the love of my passion and the apple of my face, has left me". As Jerry said this, he saw his girlfriend walking through the field with a chocolate man.

Jerry stood at the top of a mountain, and said "Oh, I feel alive but very much like there is a bit of me what has fallen off into the river, and ... like that man we killed" said Jerry. He went through the woods to the river. "And maybe I will go swimming and I see if I can find it..." said Jerry as he leapt into the river. Jerry swam and swam through the river, his clothes drenched with water. "But, oh no, I do not reckon I will find it because there is loads of rocks and seaweed and grass in there and supermarket trolleys what people have discarded". Two teenagers ran towards the river and threw a trolley into the river, before quickly running off again.

"...but they did not know that what they were doing, they were probably from the broken homes as well as me". Jerry saw the teenagers run into a dilapidated house.

Jerry walked back to his house, and stood outside it, crying. He was feeling very sorrowful. "And sometimes I wish I got the bricks and we could fix my broken home, so that the breeze doesn't come in and make my feet cold, and give me ill for most of my life". Jerry thought back to the previous night, where he sat in his bed, shivering as the draught came through a large crack in the wall.
