    I rummaged around in the trash behind the town hall building. No lights we're on inside, but I had to be cautious. Not that I hadn't checked every night when the lights turned off. No one was particularly scared of me, they just laugh. It makes me livid, I'm not scary like I shouldn't be.. but they'd chase me out with weapons in hand.. even my parents were expecting so much more, I couldn't care less but I still try.. till I scare them I stay nameless, but I cannot begin to want to try.. but i still do. What was in it for me, more garbage to eat, a pat on the back, a glare from the others on how long it took.

    I wrinkled up my nose holding up an old dirty sock. Tossing it back in. A perk of eating from the trash, old things you'd have never seen otherwise.
