Two years two years, I say whispering to myself and regret I’ve been working as gas station cashier for two years five bucks an hour barely can pay rent. It’s time for me to leave. Maybe if I go somewhere I can have better luck. maybe… I packed my bags put the boxes in the truck and slam the door. I run and go get gas and I’m off a picture of spend two nights in my car and then stop somewhere and that’s where I’ll be maybe even more nights. Better than here better than this town better than the garbage that flows through the air and hits you in the face while walking through a park better than barking dogs in the apartment beside you on the prices at Walmart better somewhere better than here. I drive and drive and drive and drive and drive finally, I see a sign zoo 20 miles ahead . A zoo maybe that’s just what I need a zoo something to cheer me up live animals happy animals sounds of elephants and zebras running monkeys, making noises while climbing trees. I always thought that shoes were the best they’re just filled with happiness happy animals,happy people. take a turn and drives towards the zoo, hoping it doesn’t cost so much for a ticket. I don’t know how much I can afford a number to myself quietly and under my breath. About five minutes later I see the zoo sign. I park about seven rows back. The walk feels like forever even though it doesn’t take that long I get in there and The only people there are are the people supposed to be checking in tickets but they’re just on their phones in the corner. I sneeking through without them noticing. it’s really not that hard I look around. I hear the Russian noises of pop gargling on the ground strollers, moving kids, screaming monkey zebra!! I breathe all and then seconds it all changes elephants have wings. The horses are unicorns. The rabbits are up red pandas are Giants. It’s a magical zoo, I whisper under my breath with a sigh of happiness as all my problems disappear into the noise of the magical zoo.
