My Desire
"Give what you got now." demanded a tall scrubby-looking man. He held what looked like a gun, but one could not be so sure because of the darkness of the night sky. Desiree was terrified, but she could not help but blame herself because she knew this was coming. She wondered if she should break for it; she only had a little bit of money for herself.
"Hurry up, lady, I ain't got all day."
She quickly went into her pocket and a grabbed a hundred dollar. She prayed that the mugger would be satisfied with it and would just leave. The mugger quickly snagged it out of her hands. What seem like a smirk appeared on his face and he went on his merry little way. Desiree sighed in relief, and decided to never again ignore warnings that were presented to her.
She felt hunger again. She had run out of food that she packed so she went to a dumpster behind an apartment. She dung in for her next meal. She didn't want to spend any money, not just because she was just robbed but that money was for emergencies only. She thought to herself how amazing it was that all this food would be wasted as she bites into a half-eaten chicken sandwich. She quickly gobbled it down, and began to search for more.
Desiree felt eyes creeping on her from behind. She swiftly looked behind her. It was glowing eyes glaring at her. One eye was red and the other was yellow. Desiree's first instinct was to run but before she could the glowing eyes disappeared. She suddenly realized that it must have been a mutant like her. She quickly jumped out of the dumpster and chased it.
"Are you a mutant?" Desiree shouted as she chased it down. It stopped and looked back. The glowing eyes seemed hypnotizing. Desiree spoke up again, "I'm a mutant too." Desiree slowly crept to the mutant. The mutant had a huge smile as she approached. Her smile were full of sharp blades. Most would have found it terrifying, but Desiree saw it as welcoming. She no longer had to be alone and she could be with someone that could understand her.
She felt at ease. She looked at the crescent moon and chanted without truly understanding "My love, I have reached closer to you. It won't be long."
