Just One More Day
Jun. 12th, 2009 04:54 amAt the beginning, when it first started, all he ever wanted was just one more day. One more day of living the best dream he'd ever had, because he knew--he knew--that he was going to wake up.
He was going to wake up at home, in the tiny, dirty apartment, where he lived alone almost as often as he lived with his dad. He was going to have to decide whether he was better off going to school and getting the free lunch, or skipping and trying to find enough food and other basics to last him a few days. Maybe. If he was both lucky and frugal with them. He was going to have to wonder if he'd be arrested (again) just trying to get enough to make it by.
So when he went to bed at night, no matter how exhausted he was, he prayed. Not for health, or safety, or any of the other blessings that people usually prayed for. All he ever asked for was just one more day.
