about this story

Every Sunday I take my normal seat in the fourth pew just off to the left in front of the choir and pray. Today as I leave the church, there is some sort of protest happening. More people unhappy with the government I suppose. I walk past them with no desire to learn more about their cause and head to what has been my home for about two weeks now. The last ally I was taking residence in was raided and trashed by the police, so I had to relocate. I try to fall asleep to avoid the growing ache for food in my stomach. I dream about water, and how long it's been since I have been able to take a hot bath. I suddenly wake up to yelling. It's another raid. The city police doing their diligent duties I suppose. I grab the few possessions I have managed to keep and walk back to the church. The lock on the door tells me they have already closed it for the day. With nothing else to distract me, I decide to grab a donut and coffee with the little money I have. As I sip on my coffee I can't help but to think of a better world.
