I woke up the next morning with a book covering my chest, still opened to the same page. Conner was outstretched at the foot of my full size bed, his furry feet touching mine. With my blankets still undisturbed underneath me, I rolled over with groan and stretched until my back popped, sounding like a round of bullets were being fired. I sat up, wiping the gunk from the corner of my eyes, and saw that I beat my alarm. It was 6:52 a.m. I proceeded to turn off my alarm in advance so it wouldn’t scream for me later. I got up and walked to the bathroom. When I turned on the light, I cringed. It took a minute for my eyes to adjust. I turned the faucet on and proceeded to brush my teeth.

My mom grew up in this shabby place, and it was the only thing she knew. She thought maybe moving here would allow us to get back on our own feet again. I always worried that my mom is lonely since my dad is gone, so I asked, “Mom, are you going to try to find a part-time job here.
