With Just Ten Dollars
Today I think I just found the answer to my world of pain and suffering. Yesterday, I got a buzz book. Why did that make some of the pain go away? The answer is simple. I didn't know before where Alex lived, or any of that stuff. However, I wanted to write a letter to him. I already had it written out, in an envelope, and it even had a stamp on it. All it was missing was the address.
So yesterday I had ten dollars so that I could buy a school buzzbook, which would solve my problem of Alex being unreachable to me. Then we could finally communicate for the first time in months, the one thing I am waiting to happen.
I went to the Bookstore to buy the buzzbook, I suddenly got nervous. What if my letter didn't work? What if I never got to see light in my world ever again? I asked the lady, "Can I buy a buzzbook?"
"You sure can," she said.
I slid the ten dollar bill across the table. She slid across the table to me a green book.
For a moment, I held it in my hands, as if it were the entire world. Then I just felt compelled to run, and dashed outside and hid behind a corner. Then I flipped to the M's, looking for Alex's name. I found it, and read the address silently to myself.
I can't believe it. With just ten dollars, I bought the item I needed to possibly reconnect to the love of my life, who I thought I would never see again. With just ten dollars, I could turn the course of my tragic life around for the better. Now I can believe it's possible, that Alex will mend the parts of my world that were destroyed.
