There is always powdered milk on the table when I go home, soup crackers and rye bread for porridge. Open and empty, there is always a room for visitors to sleep and stay, though there isn’t much room for me.
I packed my things last night to runaway; I locked the door, threw my key through the window and left no note or explanation. Then, I took a bus— two cities over— and to the lake, before realizing I had nowhere to go. No visitor's room to sleep in or stay. Just empty cities to live in for a while.
I spent the night trying to unlock the door, and went to sleep feeling homesick.
