When I was about half way down

the street, I heard voices. Being very curious, I looked behing my shoulder and saw the old woman and a middle aged man. They began and the man sounded very happy. He was still smiling as he pulled put a yellow paper bag. He opened it and pulled out what looked like 10,000 yen. I frowned as I looked at the money. I really needed that... The lady shook her head and handed a bag to him. He payed her and shouted after him, "This isnt how much this is!" It seemed that they were mother and son. I turned back around and began walking home.

My 'home' isnt like your typical home. If you can even call it that. It was an abandoned warehouse that was claimed as home to more than 15 families! The one thing we all have in common is that we are all in a ridiculous amount of dept. I creaked open the door and sighed. While walking to my little space, I started at the little kids running around and having fun.

Once I made it to my corner, I pulled out my raw squid and began to start a fire. I pulled out a frying pan from my bag that had all my stuff in and began to cook. Suddenly, Min-jun ( a small boy that made himself my friend) was sat next to me, staring. I smiled when I saw him and asked, "Hey kiddo! How was your day?"

"Great! I played with my friends and had a race and I won them all!" Min-jun told me excitedly as he began to blabber on about his day.

After around 10 mins, I checked the squid it was finally cooked! I pulled out a paper plate and a fork. I pulled the squid onto the plate and began eating. I looked over at Min-jun, and I saw him staring at me. When he noticed, he turned away. Then I heard his stomach growl. I sighed sadly and pushed the plate into the kids hands. He looked at me happily and ran off to share it with his family.

"Goodnight!" I shouted to everyone and some replied with goodnight. Some were already asleep. I cleaned up and collapsed onto my make sift bed and let sleep over take me.
