is not mine.
Chapter One-The Big Exit
In an apartment in Brooklyn, NY a family is caught in a heated argument. The family is not very wealthy and work hard to keep debt collectors away from their door. The father of the family, James McAnvil, works at a small business in Manhattan. He works hard for minimal pay and is having a hard time dealing with it. The mother, Gina McAnvil, your average housewife. The only problem she has with that is she does not get anything out of it as far as money is concerned. And finally, Nick "Nails" McAnvil, is unemployed and out of school and doesn't want to go back. The argument surrounds around this problem. "How the hell did you get expelled, Nick? I'm not workin this hard so youse can get kicked outta school!" said James angrily. "Look pops, it ain't like I tried to get kicked outta school. I always did my work." replied Nails. James looks at him with confusion. "Really, then why does this letter from your principal say differently?"said James. "How should I know pop? Maybe he hates me or somethin." James starts to get more forceful, but then Gina steps in. "Do you think this is a joke, Nick? We're concerned about you!" "Ma, why should I go back if they're just gonna kick me out again?" replied Nails. "I really don't see any point." Gina looks shocked and screams "Maybe you should do somethin else then!" "Like what, Ma? says Nick. "Like workin and gettin money like you're father and I do!" screams Gina. "Yeah Nick, why don' you do that? That way you won't be a total disgrace to the family." said James. "A disgrace to the family?! How could youse say that?" screams Nails. "But then again, if it'll get me away from your stinkin hide and Ma's naggin voice, I'll do it. says Nails. Gina and James pass glances to each other in shock. "In fact, I'll do betta than that. I'll run away!!" And with those words Nails packs up some things and runs out the door. Gina and James run after him screaming. "Nick come back! We didn't mean it like that! Nick!" But they were too late. For Nails had gotten down the stairs and out of the building. He ran farther and farther away from them until he got to an abandoned alleyway. Nails ran down it until he got to far enough down it that he couldn't be seen. "Ha, I'll never have to deal with them again," said Nails in fatigue. He sat down and rested himself from the long run. Nails woke up to find two older boys staring down at him. "Hey kid, what do ya think yer doin here?" said the taller one. "Yeah, get lost. This is our restin spot!" said the other. Nails glared back at them and said, "And who might youse two dirtbags be? Laurel and Hardy?" The taller one gives him a dirty look and says, "The name's Morris, and this is my brudda Oscar." "Allow us to introduce ourselves." And with those words they grab Nails of the ground and start beating him, but Nails fights back with everything he has but begins to tire. Then suddenly a shadow appears in the alley of a teenage boy wearing a cowboy hat.
