《Moving Sloth》


 *Sloth Enters*

    Delicacies was always something that I could never have, and truth be told you were right. I think in the very moment of birth I had deep form of laziness inside me. So the question you can ask yourself is what form of laziness encompassed me? Well to put it in a form of context the way I described it was everything. Now when I usually say my answer I keep hearing this phrase ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± With a voice and face of confusion, so my response to that would usually be ¡°Well do you know the basic concept of procrastination? Or just the base form of being lazy?¡±


    When I would say that statement some would follow up with ¡°Well I know that of course but what''s ¡®everything¡¯?¡± and to me it meant mental exhaustion, and physical exhaustion. To the point I wouldn''t care to leave my bed for weeks besides to get me basic necessities to live. As to my mental ability it''s in terms of my own self will to care about myself in certain situations like being bullied or people putting me down to say the least. Even though to me I really didn''t care, so sometimes I would recall to myself how i ended up the way am?


    To personality, the way I carry myself through life to even how I function myself as a somewhat human being. So when I usually think long and hard about it I realize something. That this world is constructed to how you if you are unlucky to what you are given at birth it has chosen your path for you. Especially with me that got given something at birth to which it would engrave itself into directing my life and stay permanently across my right chest to my upper arm.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.


    It was just a simple tattoo that came into birth with me. We we''re given animal tattoo¡¯s that help determine our roles in society. ¡°So what animal would engraved with our child?¡± Is what parents usually thought about most of the of time. Waiting in excitement for their children to blessed with such markings.So what i got what was indubitably a big disappointment to what my family expected which it would set my course through life it is the one animal people usually thought no one has gotten and that is the sloth.


    With me being blessed with a very uncommon marked animal the people around me didn''t exactly know what i would do with my life. I lived with a sense of urgency to not really care about achievements or showing off besides maybe having the longest sleeping schedule. If i would look at myself i guess i can see the reasons on why my family and teachers treated me the way they did. Even though their extreme measures of treatment towards me is to be uncalled for, i would probably hate myself as well.


    So what''s the point of saying all this? Well I can say it''s a form of self-reflect on me seeing how i''m going to change myself in my events to come. Though maybe it won''t happen, or maybe i can finally start moving in a way to better myself. But do i know this? Of course not. All I can do is try my best with what''s given to me.So I will see if I am able to move forward or not. But to be honest it probably won¡¯t happen.

 Moving

    With a wide variety of streets going into different directions, mine was a simple straight road towards my rundown apartment complex. A1 was my room number it was on the first floor of the complex, usually I would never see anyone walk by in our streets probably because of how ragged this street is.


    The owner thankfully doesn''t have high a price to live, other wise it would be quite difficult because the only form of income coming way is the government''s that they had out to the people who desperately struggle buts its still not enough to help me in certain problems in the apartment.


    I usually try my best to have the lights off all the time, to not having my tv on to save my electricity bill going on a high rate. When water comes in I usually try to at least shower once a week to help with water bill¡¯s. Now inside the best way it could be described was a hoarder room. Now the way to describe it, wasn''t necessarily random objects of the short it was basically trash scattered across the apartment. Now some would think ¡°why don''t you clean it up?¡± I say to that eventually, plus it doesn''t really matter anyway, because usually nobody comes to check on me besides the owner of the place. I know noticed today though that I had barely any food in my fridge and it''s been awhile since I went out to get a job.


    Plus on up side I do know that the covenant store is opening for hiring I thought it was a great reason for me to go outside. Not to mention after a few failed attempts of trying to get a job, maybe the god who gave me such a curse could finally lend a hand to a pitiful me. So i ask god ¡°help me!¡± In my room, but I always still feel the same way as i always do. Firstly though i would have to change clothes sadly though i wasn''t dressed properly like with a suit and such. My clothing comes across as plain meaning just a white shirt with a simple pair of regular jeans.


    Their was one thing that changing my clothes reminded me of, it reminded the life that I was born with. My tattoo, my mirror was to the right side of my closet. So every time i would change I''ll see the tattoo looking at me. It was a reminder that i would always have with me. After fixing my hair i walked out into the world I lived in and it felt actually comfortable to walk for such a long time. My street was plain, barely anyone out in the streets themselves; I always wondered why there was usually no traffic here, I didn''t know if it was because of the dragon or lion families running through the area to pull operations; but either case this part of town felt like a desert. I know this part was more ghetto in a sense but it was mostly just broken down buildings, and thankfully wasn''t much on mafia or gang territory control over certain parts of the town. Because I would think business like that would be in the upper city of X11 where consumers go on their daily shopping frays; but thinking about these topics we''re bit tiring for me to comprehend and to why I even cared in the first place.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve.

    While I was deep in thought about the subject, I didn''t really notice how close I was to the store. I''m here!? I said out loud; thinking about things surprised me, it felt I got here a lot faster then normally; maybe I should consider doing that more? Yeah, we will see about that, I thought to myself. Maybe this could be the day it actually turns out good for me! Maybe just maybe it can¡­


    ¡°Hey!¡±


    Oh I wasn''t paying attention and bumped into somebody, the individual looked liked a greaser the person he was also talking to also looked my way ¡°Better watch where you are going boy!¡± A much older man; that looks of to be in his thirties, oh I can see where this going but I can possibly get out of this situation ¡°I¡¯m so sorry!¡± trying to sound the best of ability for forgiveness and when I bowed my head down, I felt a surge of pain on the top of my head and me landing head first into the pavement felt the top of my forehead scraped against it. Trying to get my head up I see the man foot right then he pushed ¡°I think we need a better apology.¡± saying with a wide grin, I see so this not the day i think it would turn out but what else could I expect from this world I guess, with a very regretting response ¡°What do you want?¡±

 !Why Oh Why!

    Why or Why!


    ¡°What do you want?¡±


    With a sound of annoyance with my voice; my eyes were wandering upwards, to only could see the individual''s standing above me. the younger one put his foot on top of my head with a grin that would make joker¡¯s smile look meh in comparison.


    Rubbing his foot into my head, ¡°I think you know a way to compensate for bumping into me.¡± While rubbing his fingers together has asking to cough up cash. Looking at his hint I reach into the right side of my pants pocket, to pulling out my wallet. When I brought it out to open view; the older man immediately took it out from my hands and started rummaging through the contents.


    After scourging his hands through he was having annoyance being visible on his face. After so he had my wallet pointing down trying to shake it in a aggressive manner; as if to see if their was actually nothing in there. ¡°Can''t believe it''s empty, how are you going to pay us back now?¡± Tossing my wallet to the ground next to me. The younger one looked back at his friend and looked back towards my way before opening his mouth again.


    ¡°Well since you can''t pay us back, I guess you have to pay in the form of a beating then. After that we will come find you and have you pay us back more than once so consider as daily routine from now on.¡±


    So, this day has probably gotten worse than I expected. This is way I don''t like going out something has to get in my way huh. Now I''m going to have these goons constantly keep harassing me for money!? I wonder what can get worse for me now? After that thought the younger man grabbed me by my hair and lifted me; since I''m a very small person and don''t really weigh that much it''s pretty easy to pick me up actually.


    ¡°Didn''t we say that you have to pay us back one or the other right now?¡± As he was talking the older man started to crack his knuckles together as if was readying himself into getting a fighting match. As they raised both of their fists getting ready to pummel a very tall figure stood behind them. Feeling the presence behind them they slowly lowered their fists down to turn around to see the person behind them; the way to describe the presence would be that giant to say the least, and when they saw the giant I think the overall atmosphere made them worry and suddenly I was let go of and fell back onto the ground.


    Thinking my day would go back great again, I was then trampled by the fleeing goons. Even if it was satisfying to see them scared, I think having their boots press down onto my face and chest I could have lived without that. Now thinking about it i can feel my eyes closing on me; I''m going to be unconscious before my eyes started to close they wandered over to the person who helped me.


    Walking over towards me with slight breeze of wind passing through I see a sunflower blonde approaching with a very soft spoken voice with a tent of worry in the voice. ¡°Hey,are you alright? What don''t close your eyes!?¡±Stolen novel; please report.


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Opening my eyes; all to see was a unknown roof above me. With feeling of a warm blanket, covering me. My wounds that I had gotten from the goons this morning, was patched up leaving me only having a headache. I started to turn my head around to look at my surroundings with trying to catch to see I f it was just me in the room. As i was having my eyes wonder my area, I was trying to get up; but as I was about to pull myself up I felt a slight weight on my chest questioning It took the time to lift my head up and look in front of me.


    ¡°Meow~¡±


    --Oh it''s a cat. it''s patterns of the fur was a mix of orange and black with the bud of its nose being silver. To say the least it was a very colorfully cat. Plus not to mention it was on the heavier side of things, so i kinda felt uncomfortable with it on my stomach. Seeing how I felt uncomfortable i think the cat took the heads up by thinking ¡°I should probably get off him now.¡±


    He jumped off me; landing elegantly, as a cats usually do. Having the light pressure leave my chest, I was feeling more comfortable which eased my tension on to where I was; thinking about it very quickly the instant thought of the person that came to my aid ¡°Oh..she took me back to her place¡­?¡± saying to myself, the interior of her place is similar to a transitional style house design with a edge of a more modest approach to the interior itself. To be honest it was very reminisce of my family¡¯s house, except with maybe we were more traditional when it came to interior and the look of it. While it was fun to reminisce about old memories but one thing came to mind; where was she? You would think she would make sure to treat her injured patent when they see them wake up, but she''s not in here at the moment.


    The main thing I thought of first would be to try to find my stuff and leave a note saying thank you. Luckily, all my were set by the counter table folded up while picking up my things I noticed they had been washed. That was nice of her to do, it does suck i can''t show my gratitude but sadly I must be off. After putting on my wares I looked immediately to where the front door was and started to walk towards it. As my hand reached the doorknob, the door opened from the other side having not expecting it, I lost my footing and started to fall forwards with the thought of i was going to fall on the ground again but instead it was a lot softer actually¡­¡±Nice to see you back up mister.¡± ohh¡­ I was still looking away; but trying to have the courage i looked in front me and then next thing i knew i had to look up to stare at the person in the face ¡°Giant!¡± I said shockingly out loud. ¡°What! That''s pretty rude thing to say to the person that helped you; you know?¡±


    After she was done speaking, I noticed that I was still leaning on her, after I got off her I spoke in a very embarrassed tone with showing my deepest apologizes. ¡°I''m sorry!¡± feeling her walk by me hearing her strong voice with a firm form of elegance in it ¡°Come back inside and sit down, you are probably hungry right? Also who turn down a free meal?¡± She had a point...who would turn down a free meal? Walking back inside I closed the door and me and the tall woman sat across from each other.

 The Giant

    <div>


    How am I still here!?


    ¡°Is there something wrong with the food?¡± saying across from the table, was the giant women. ¡°Oh, nothing''s wrong with food.¡± I said.


    I thought soon after I bumped into her I would be on my way back to my place; but she made a meal for me. As well I am sitting here my nerves are acting up on me to the point it seems i''m sweating buckets. It''s a very ugly sight to see that i''m surprised she doesn''t have the face of ¡®disgust¡¯ when she looks over here. I think also the main reason I''m having this crisis right now is probably because of how long It''s been since i had this type of contact with another person not too mention it''s a girl no less.So my many years of me being anti-social have finally taken it''s toll on me. With showing great concern on her face she said ¡°Are you sure you are alright?¡± With my voice cracking on me I did a very quiet response ¡°ye-s.¡± with her questioning my statement she did a sigh as basically a remark to what I said. I''m pretty sure she can how i feel right now. So me being ¡®alright¡¯ in here is pretty false to say on me. She got done with finishing her plate she came over and took mine, there was still a good portion of the meal on my plate. Starting feeling myself flowing with nerves seeing that i made her waste food on me with even showing no form of gratitude towards her. Having this uneasy feeling; to try to calm myself down what i would do is twirling my thumbs together trying to focus on that instead of how i''m feeling right now. After seeing her put the dishes away in the kitchen i see her going into the hallway and walking inside a room, with curiosity i peeked my head into the hallway.


    With trying to raise my voice I call out to the woman ¡°hello, miss?¡± She shouted back to me from the room she was in ¡°yeah, what is it?¡± With slight nerves coming onto me I hesitantly started moving my way to the room she was in. Making it to the entrance of the door I tryed to finally express my gratitude for her helping me. ¡°I-I, wanted to say thank you for your help back there, I promise to repay in full for you helping me!¡± She turned her head towards me with a tiny smile appearing on her face ¡°Aw~ don''t mention it, after all it wasn''t fair to begin with, so I decided to step in and help you out that''s all.¡± Slightly embarrassed I started turning my head away from her and laughed a bit nervously ¡°haha~ you sure are right about that, well anyways I thank you again for your hospitality but I think it''s best If I start leaving and head back to my place.¡± After i was done speaking I was on my way out back into the hallway until i felt the back of my shirt being pulled back with almost with a intense I turn around with the giant women pulling onto it. Humm, what''s this!? She was looking down staring at me ¡°I think it would be more safe for you to stay the night, just in case if those guys find you out in the streets right?¡± Thinking about it that way it does make sense but honestly i think i would rather still leave after all isn''t this women being too comfortable of having a total stranger stay the night at her place? No matter the height difference between us it''s safe to be sorry in my book, but maybe that''s what gives her confidence to stay cool about it i guess. ¡°Well, if you are comfortable with me staying here then I thank you again with all of my heart.¡± Even though i''m a bit sad now, reason being is that I now feel more indebted to her now. But there is one more thing I wanna ask her. Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    ¡°So, if you don''t mind answering this, could you tell me your name?¡± Since she''s asking me to stay at her place I might as well know her name. Looking at me she wiped her hands on the side of her dressed and raised her hand towards me and said her name with simile across her face ¡°It¡¯s Zila.¡± looking at her for some reason my nerves from before had vanished in that instant. Feeling it go away I had a sense to return the favor back at her so I clutched her hand with mine ¡°Nice to meet you Zila, i¡¯m Mono glad to meet you.¡± I smiled back at her, I never really had this feeling before where i''m actually comfortable enough to give another person a handshake, just maybe today turned into a good day after all.


    And as they clinged to each other''s hand their bond formed was forged on that night that they will never forget.
