The Forgotten Child

Authors Note: This is a short story din the point of view of a scared little kid that's all on his own

It was a dark night right around midnight in the middle of January and Kevin was all by himself in a dark ally. He was all huddled up right next to the dumpster, teeth chattering. Every once in a while he would see a homeless guy dig through one of the many trash cans. One of the homeless guys offered him a half eaten apple, but he politely declined as if he were still at the fancy restaurant with his parents before they got into a fight and forgot him. He got scared so he said he had to go to the bathroom and when he got back they were gone. He waited for what felt like hours and then finally just got up and left. Then he wandered around the city for hours more looking for his parents and then finally collapsed giving up hope right where he is now.
