'The Cotton Wool Cloud'


A cotton wool cloud drifts in the clear blue sky, it settle on a housing estate. Where young boy is survive his only little existence. His yellow hair catching the sun but his has brown hair underneath just wait for winter so it come burst through. The boy is only about three foot tall and less then four stone in weight. With his lizard green eyes, freckles that cover his cheeks and even if you try count them you couldn’t that how many his got. Most days, no sorry crap that first bit most of year, his wearing black t shirt, jeans only because he can get away with wearing of days of end before he give them to her to washing and waiting in dog bed with dog blanket cover him. He pretend to everyone that he loves play with nothing on his feet but “HE” told him that his not worth anything and she is has now.

On the estate, all the other children playing with each other. He try to ask some of other children if he can play too or slow try to integrated himself with boys football game but they scream at him with vile abuse which you would think children of that age knew. Another boy is kick a can round underneath his foot, then he push it flat with a Nike trainer and older boy pace his hand on the figure in black material. At pigeon pace backing the tiny hallow of boy into a wall. Lizard eyes began to water has he turn so no one see a stream cresting his dirty cheeks. Find his own space which where the rubbish bins keep, hide and wait scrape of food to come down the tunnel.

As day wore itself out and cotton cloud disappears. He woke to find black sheet in the sky with little glimpse of light with moon shine like a candle in a glass lantern. He wonder out in the silence of the estate where play by himself. In the football pitch, where empty cartons of drinks, crisps packets and melted lollies. He swipe his finger in liquid which tongue taste vanilla ice cream. He close his emerald eyes, dreamed of her love him, cuddle and said of plan of future. HE back with his fists and words. He belong no where and wish
