*This story contains themes of child abuse and neglect It is not a true story, however the theme may ring true for many* I’m lost. And I know you are too. We’re scattered and broken, left on the streets to rot, or shoved behind closed doors to hide from the lady who comes once a week. That lady is supposed to help us, protect us.

My eyes darted between the navigator screen and the windshield. The blue arrow, marking me on the map of endless things, poked along slowly as my car inched along the lonely road. I looked at the time. “Fuck!” I was late. Again. I stepped on the gas pedal, jolting my car forward. Poor thing. It was already 10 years old. It was ready for retirement.
