Little boy blue

He took a deep breath, looking at his house behind him. He knew exactly what he’d do: get on a train and go to New York. Yea that’ll work, and I’ll find a new family that loves me.

The boy unraveled his blue blanket to reveal the content inside. Lets see here… I’ve got my beenie babies, some oreos, my pillow, and my favorite peter rabbit tee-shirt… that should do it! he started to walk across the street, but then ran back because he’d forgotten to look both ways. After making sure the road was clear, he trotted across the street, making sure nothing fell out of the blue blanket slung over his shoulder.

He came to the entrance of his neighborhood, which was busy with traffic and scared him. But nonetheless, the brave little boy attempted to cross the road. When it was safe, of course. He was so occupied with the road that he didnt notice the man standing at the other side of the road. The little boy bumped into him, and dropped his blanket on the ground, the contents spilling out.
