Being chased

It was already dark in the tenth floor of the purgatory...

The moon and multiple stars could be seen in the sky...

They are inside a dungeon of some sort so why would they see a sun and a moon, even stars...almost all questioned it but it was suddenly forgotten as no one was able to figure out why

And because of that they just blame it to the miracles that a god could do

*crunch*

*crunch*

In the dark alley where no living creatures should be left to live, is a kid happily munching on a already eaten corn

There's no actual flavor and all he could taste is the spicy and bizarre mixture of dust and garbage..but even with all that the kids smile didn't falter

He quickly loses the corn, Considering how fast he was eating and how small it is, it would be a miracle if he couldn't finish it..a miracle and a wish he wanted to be granted

He rubbed his belly that had no fat that his bone cage is pretty visible..

"That was delicious, I hope I could get another one tomorrow"

He wishes, the kid then crawled his way to the garbage bag finding a suitable bag that he could rest on

Everything is dark and all he could see is his own hands, thanks to the moon seeing his hand become possible to do..

He crawled and feels the texture of the bag with his hand..when he finally felt something that he could lay in..something that wouldn't damage his body

he already fall asleep in a hard garbage bag before ..and the next day his back was full of red marks and rashes, thanks to that the kid now have a clear idea, to not sleep anywhere

The kid cozied himself in the soft garbage bag...and seconds after snuggling his body with the bag, the kid fall asleep

The day comes..

The ally meters away from the garbage place where the kid was sleeping..began to make so much noise that was loud enough to reached the kids ears

Hearing the sound of multiple voice and laughs, the kid slowly opened his eyes just to be reminded by the smell that surrounds him...

The kid stretched his hands and his mouth suddenly opened without his consent..

"Yaaaaawnnn"

After yawning and stretching his arms, he hurriedly stand up and ran across layers of trash bag before arriving to a floor where no trash could be seen

The kid after seeing the clean ground, slowed down and walks

The sound of multiple people's and their laughter got louder and louder, loud enough to pierce the kid's eardrum

after arriving at a sharp turn..the kid stopped and lean toward the opening

The kids eye widened...

He saw multiple people some of them is holding a weapon like an axe or a sword..and some of them is different from him, some have a tail that animals should only have, and some is short, short enough to compliment the kids height

But even with their differences almost all the people that was walking in the busy street have a clear face of joy...it was an envious sight to behold

the kid watched the street..the small shop that stores multiple sweet and toys, the people who is laughing as they walk in and out,

"Ahhhh!, there's a thief"

Someone yelled, with that shout everyone become alert and their face full of joy suddenly become tense and serious

The kid was no exception,

A thief?, what if he steals all of the food I can find?, there's a lot of garbage bag but..the food is limited

The kid's thought as he ran toward the place where almost all garbage is stashed

He can see the ground a far being surrounded by the black bag, indicating that he was near

'Thief please don't steal anything, I'll share'

The kid pondered, he was about to reach his destination when he heard a loud voice from behind

"Thief stop right there!"

The guy behind furiously shouted

A little curious and scared, the kid look behind just to saw two people chasing each other

One is someone with the same size as him while the other is an adult..

The kid tried to stop and let the two chase each other but the one being chased grab his hand

"What are you doing, well get caught!"

He yelled directly in the kids ear,

The kid was unable to loosen the gripped of the one that was holding his hand tightly...

So all he was able to do, was to go with the flow

The kid was unwilling to move, but when he saw the garbage bag lying in the ground

The kid immediately struggled, he try to shake his arm but it didn't do anything

He even tried to bite the hands of the one holding him, but on how fast they are running if he tried to lean his head he might injured himself

"Stop!!"

The guy behind yelled he was tall so he must be an adult

"Why would we!?"

The guy ahead of the kid shouted, teasing the one that was chasing them

The kid felt the soft texture of the garbage bag but if suddenly got overturn by the hard floor, when the one ahead of him made a sharp turn

As seconds fast the kid become exhausted and the garbage place become far..so far that he couldn't even see anything that indicate the existence of the garbage place

He was surrounded by a clean alleyway, while being chased by a adult and holding hands with someone who seems to be a kid like him

"Bro, we need to duck"

The man ahead of him whispered and the kid immediately complied

And bowed his head, the same time the person in front of him ducked

The kid has no idea to why he had to duck but when he heard the shout of the person behind he understood

"Wha!"

Seconds after ducking, the kid get his head back up

Just to see the adult unconscious while hugging a huge metal, the exact size as the kid
