I woke up this morning completely grumpy and mad for absolutely no apparent reason. As I was walking to work, a child came up to me and started speaking pretty quickly, &quot;Hi-my-name-is-Alex-and-I'm-six. Whats-wrong-are-you-okay?&quot; he asks me. _Hmm well theres a war going on that's killing thousands of soldiers, people around the globe are starving, poverty..._ &quot;Yeah, I'm fine sweety, just a little tired.&quot; I say - why ruin an innocent childs day too? &quot;Maybe-you-should-go-to-bed-at-nine-a-clock-that's-when-my-mom-used-to-send-me-to-bed.&quot; he says. _Used to?_ It's then when I realize he's completely alone. &quot;Sweetie, where are your parents?&quot; I ask him. Maybe he got separated from his parents? &quot;I-never-met-my-daddy-but-my-mommy-had-to-leave-me-alone-on-the-playground-yesterday-and-she-didn't-come-back.&quot; &quot;Aren't you hungry? O-Or thirsty?&quot; I ask, but of course he is... &quot;Yes-but-nobody-took-the-time-to-talk-to-me-but-you. So-do-you-have-anything-to-eat-or-drink? Oo-can-we-go-to-Chuckie-Cheese?&quot; 2007-08-21T23:37:45Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/5426 <p>amazing, interesting inspiration</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/5426?basename=8101 2007-08-21T23:37:45Z Nouvelle Bardot http://ficlets.com/authors/user_bardot <p>amazing, interesting inspiration</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/5426?basename=8102 2007-08-21T23:37:45Z Nouvelle Bardot http://ficlets.com/authors/user_bardot <p>it is amazing how you were inspired to write that story by that picture&#8230;.. that shows a great imagination and creativity, and much much more&#8230;...</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/5426?basename=5372 2007-07-26T02:27:06Z //miss mia// http://ficlets.com/authors/simiwile <p>aaawww its so sad&#8230;</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/5426?basename=5052 2007-07-22T04:16:46Z MissJonas1492 http://ficlets.com/authors/princesssister <p> TEARS ,,,,,</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/5426?basename=5042 2007-07-21T20:06:56Z jinn http://ficlets.com/authors/user_32654
