Yet another angst Yamato ficcy be yours-truly.
Yamato and his father have been scrapping along the bottom of society just fine. Until Mr. Ishida loses his job, and now, Yamato could loose everything. Based on a true story.
It's not so Bad By Sentra If I owned Digimon, it probably wouldn't be a kiddy show any longer.
Yamato's PoV
Most ppl, especially those like Mimi, can't imagine life without a bankful of money, but me and dad lived poor just fine. Sure, you don't get "nice" clothes, and most of the stuff you own was once someone else's, but it's not that bad. In fact, that's how I got my first guitar, it was a hand-me- down!
Dad and I got along fine, with all the modern conveniences that you probably have: TV, running water, electricity, phone line, ect. We even had a little saved up for my future education.
Until Dad lost his job.
It was okay, for a while. But after a month, the bill collectors were calling all the time. Naturally, the phone was the first thing dad shut off. Unfortunately, it was the only reason my friends found out. I wasn't going to tell them, but Taichi called me to ask what the Math homework was, and the operator told him the number was no longer available.
He asked me about it at school, and I think I answered him, but I'm not sure ^.^ I do have a tendency to blow him off.
Dad got a part time job, but he still wasn't making much. I started pawning off my stuff, just little extra's that I didn't really need, so I could slip a couple bucks in his wallet when he wasn't paying attention.
It helped, but still not enough. Next was the TV. That's okay, I don't watch it very often anyway. But then we could afford propane. No stove, and no hot water. By the end of the month, all the money was either to the electricity, or the rent. There wasn't any left for even food. Dad decided that the latter was more important, so we were out of electricity, too.
That's the background of this story. I recounting it to you while enjoying some dry ramon under the light from the street. Dad is working again. As it is, I'm screening yesterday's newspaper, looking for anyone who might hire me.
