He asked himself , when did I eat last? Can’t remember, he mutters to myself. Mom brought me some potato chips, 2 bologna sandwiches and 2 small bottle waters. She told me she’s going away for a while, but she will be back.

It’s almost 6 days and no mommy!! Where did she go? Is Mama coming back? I live in a condemned building.Alone with the roaches.

.I ate those bologna sandwiches.Now in my tummy. Hungry again.There are vendors on the sidewalk selling food, clothing, and a lot of cool things. This morning,I walked over to a food vendor and said I have nothing to eat. The vendor gave me a brown bag filled with food. Happily, I ran upstairs.I was starving and needed to eat something.Now, I have bread, peanut butter, pop tarts. I store everything in the non working refrigerator. There are no utensils in the house, so I used my fingers to spread the peanut butter on the bread. It tasted good.another day passed. Still ,no Mom! I realize she abandoned me.Im cold, filthy with dirt under my feet and nails.My hair smells because there’s no water to wash . I cry and cry, wiping my snotty nose on my sleeve. I’m only 10 years old! The vendor who gave me the food, knew I was alone and destitute. The man called social services. I was taken away. I now live with the vendor.He and his wife, now are legally my foster parents. Now, I sleep in my own bed. Enjoying my new toys and clothing. Even taking baths.. The vendors wife cooked me this piece of meat. They called it steak. It was delicious.Never ate steak before.Your hear to stay forever, said the vendor. I’m soo happy now. Im happy and content.Family who loves me, and I love them too!!!
