Chapter 10

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't updated this in a while, I've just been having ideas pour out of my ears for my other story; A Place to Call Home. I am having a little bit of writers block for this story so please give me ideas if you have any.

I walked into the Walmart; walking toward the clothing isle. I was still wearing the same clothes I had on for those- well, I don't really know how long I was there….

I pick out a random t shirt and sweatshirt before getting a pair of jeans and some sneakers. I walk around for a few minutes; getting anything else I might need then head for the check out. I get in line then stop.

I don't have any money on me. Shit. I look around me; trying to see if an idea would pop into my head. Nothin. I decide to come back later. I look around me; walking across to the other side in the clothing section; hiding the clothes under one of the shelves before casually walking out the door.

I walk out of the store; seeing people walking in and out; and cars passing by. I walk through the parking lot; and across the street to the nearest fast food place I see someone walking over to a trash can with a bag. I walk over to them.

"Excuse me; um- is there any food left in that?" I ask in an innocent voice. The woman looks over at me.

"Um- yeah. There's a burger that I didn't eat." She says. I swallow; feeling my stomach growl at me. Ok, I was really hungry, but I wanted to sell it to. - If you know what I mean. "Do you want it?" She asked slowly. I nod quickly. She slowly handed it to me and I took it politely.

"T-thank you. And may god bless you." I say quietly. She gave me a slightly pitied smile and a nod before walking for her car. I grin; ha! She so bought that.

~0~

After walking around for a few hours, I managed to dig up some cash around town. I headed back to the store; buying the clothes I hid; changing into them in the bathroom.

I walked out of the store again; this time wearing the new clothes. I had to throw the others out. Instead of walking across the parking lot; instead I went around the back.

Sometimes the trucks will be back here; maybe I can catch a ride to New York; wherever I am.

I stealthily walk around the corner; seeing three big tractor trailers. I feel a grin come onto my face. Bingo. Now all I need to do is make sure I get onto the one going closest to New York without getting caught!

I begin to walk over; I hear voices and stop; looking into the dock area.

"So this shipment is going to Georgia correct?" I see a guy say. The other nodded.

"Yeah and then the other two are going to Delaware and Washington DC." I grin. Washington. That'll be my best bet. At least I'll know my surroundings.

I hide behind one of the dumpsters as they walk by. The drivers get into the trucks and I get a small window. I run up; jumping into the back of the truck with the DC plate on it. A worker came over; closing the door and locking it. I peek out from behind the boxes. The engine roared to life and I felt the truck jolt forward.

I just hope I'll be home soon.

PLEASE READ

Ok… so I don't know any other way to say this, but- I don't think this is going anywhere. I have a few dry ideas. But overall, this story has been pretty lifeless these last few chapters and I don't see much support for me to continue it. I'm probably going to just put this story aside for a little while and work on my other one. I have more ideas for it and I'm getting a little more support and requests. So, until next time… Merry Christmas. :)
