The Drunk, And The Girl With Blond Hair. (Short Story) by llaykorn: 6:18pm On Sep 16, 2015 |
He stumbles out of the door and throws up in the gutter. He walks down the street making his way home and the memories of the old days spring to his mind. He’s a small chap with a flat cap, brown jacket, a blue shirt and a pair of brown trousers. He seems lost now; all these memories of the old times just make him feel alone. He’s a drunk, and even on his way home, he feels lost. He stumbles to the crossing, getting more tired, feeling more lonely and he sees her running: a small girl in a pink dress, running across the road, her tied up blonde hair blowing in the wind. Her mother, a short lady with a blue handbag running behind her, her arm reaching out to save her but finding no luck. The drunk sees the girl and without a second, a burst of energy rushes through his body and he runs out into the road. All the memories are now forgotten and the drunken state disappears into the wind. He grabs the girl under his arm and brings her to the walk path and the little girl's mother thanks the man. But then, she looks at him in disgust. “Stay away from of us, you drunk!” The woman says and before the drunk could say a word she picks up her daughter and walks away. The drunk just carries on walking, and all memories from the old days come back to his head and the drunken state returns and he staggers off home. He knows he’ll forget he just possibly saved a child’s life, and he knows the woman will just remember a drunk picking up her daughter. But he doesn’t care; he feels lost and forgotten and he knows he’ll die in his bed and not some soul would there be in the outside world caring. THE END 5 Likes 1 Share |

darkenedrebel: Yeah, I agree. I intentionally had the title arranged that way initially but looking at it again, I feel it sounds better the normal way. 'Blond' can be spelt in more than one way though. |

llaykorn: alright...i wasn't talking about the spelling though |

Nice It should be WITHIN a second, not WITHOUT. Or is that deliberate? |
