A lost boy walks down a putrid alley dragging a stuffed teddy bear along behind him with one hand, he barely has the strength to carry his friend any further but he refuses to leave him behind. What was his name? The young boy can't remember anymore... What was that rumbling? A monster must be nearby, the young boy starts to run when suddenly a sharp pain in his stomach causes him to stop. His memory is fuzzy for some reason. How long until he last ate something? Two days ago the pizza place threw out a 1/2 eaten piece of pizza. All he has left is a few crumbs but as he reaches into his pocket to eat it he hears something echo off the brick walls of his secluded alley. *Meow* The boy raises his stare from his growling stomach to this new monster. *MEEOOW* The boy cringes and holds the teddy bear closely to his chest and tears stream down his face unabashed. Out of the shadows the feline emerges and rubs against the boy's legs, now convinced that this creature isn't a monster he reaches down to pet her. *purr* The cat looks up at the boy with big eye and licks her lips. "She must be hungry!", the boy thinks. But the boy doesn't have anything to give her except a few crumbs still in his pocket. Selflessly he hands out everything he has. The cat takes the food and runs off back into the alley and into the darkness. Heartbroken, once again save his teddy companion the little lost boy is all alone again.

This story is a metaphor for how I feel occasionally. Understand I DON'T WANT A PITY PARTY. Just tell me what you think of the story and if it is well written.

I am so sorry, but try and seek out help

sounds like your starvin for food and affection.

Hope you find both.

not quite the reaction i was going for... the story is a mephor. I am not starving for food and affection. Maybe i need to let someone read it that knows me to understand it fully.

perhaps, or just explain your feelings in less metaphorical terms.

We don't all understand indirect communication!

I love being indirect though! its so much more fun, you get to be a dectective haha

whatever, you can also hide your true feelings, which you probably have detected.

Dude I know how you feel. I put everything into my relationships as well. Just to have them runaway into a dark alley. Leaving me emotionally starved once again.

But fill your pockets back up, and dont stop believing.

One day, they will return the favor...

thx bro, just what i needed
