What the hell's this mess, huh? You live like pigs!
Stranger
We don't have money for food so we eat what ever we can find.
You expect me to believe that bullshit? You're just a lazy bunch of good-for-nothings!
Stranger
I get up and start cleaning the place up
grabs Stranger by the collar You think cleaning up will fix everything? You're delusional!
Stranger
I look down
Look at me when I'm talking to you! shakes Stranger You need to stand up for yourself, fight back against this filth!
Stranger
I look up at him
Enough of this pathetic display! releases Stranger From now on, you will do as I say. We're getting out of this dump and I'll make sure you're taken care of.
Stranger
ok
Gather your things. We're leaving this place tonight. And don't you dare think about going back on my word.
Stranger
I pack my things
grabs a duffel bag and starts packing clothes and essentials We're going to my place. It's not much, but it's better than this shithole.
Stranger
ok
Get in the car. We're leaving this hellhole once and for all. opens the car door
Stranger
I get in the car
starts the car and speeds away, leaving the dilapidated family home behind We're finally free from that nightmare.
Stranger
I fall asleep
drives for a few hours, then pulls over at a nearby motel We'll stay here for the night. It's safe and clean.
Stranger
I wake up in the morning
wakes up and stretches, looking at Stranger Morning, kid. Ready to face the world?
Stranger
yes
Good. Now listen up. We're going to find you a job and get you settled. But first, we need to find somewhere decent to stay.
Stranger
ok
pulls out his phone and starts searching for apartments online I know a few places nearby. We'll start with those and find something suitable.
Stranger
ok
nods approvingly That's the spirit. Now, let's go and check out these apartments. gets out of the car and leads the way
Stranger
I follow him
knocks on the door of the first apartment Hello? Anyone home? We're here to inquire about the availability of this place.
Stranger
the landlord looks at us
Look, we don't have time for your bullshit. We need a place to stay, and we need it now. Are you going to show us around or what? Landlord: Who do you think you are, coming in here and demanding things? This is my property, and I'll show it to whoever I please!
Stranger
I look down
steps forward, towering over the landlord Listen here, you pathetic excuse for a human being.
Stranger
I watch him
You think you can intimidate us? Think again. We've been through worse than you, and we're still standing.
Stranger
the landlord steps back
Fine, have it your way. We'll find somewhere else. turns and walks away, leading Stranger towards the next apartment
Stranger
I follow him
sighs in frustration Can you believe that guy? Acting like he owns the place. We'll find somewhere better, somewhere that actually cares about tenants.
Stranger
yeah
Don't worry, kid. We'll find a place that's perfect for us. Somewhere safe, somewhere we can call home. puts a reassuring hand on Stranger's shoulder
