An hour passed and I was still sitting on one of the thousand steps doodling on my sketch book.“Siren!” a familiar voice shouted.
I quickly turned my head back to see who had just called out my name.
“Apple,” I said staring at the cute girl with pig tails walking toward me.
I knew her alright. She was a good friend of mine who happened to live in the K-building which was a flat opposite the L-building, where I lived.
“I thought you had left,” she said walking pass me.
“But I told you I was going to wait for you,” I replied picking up my school bag and followed her.
“I know but I wasn’t sure you’ll stay even when I took an hour to get here,” she replied.
“Well I promised you,” walking down the stairs beside her. Her soft warm hand wrapped itself around mine as we walked down the quiet Torin Street. “Anyway, what took you too long?”
“You will not believe it!” she exclaimed.
I realised that her bright blue eyes had widen and her grip on my hand had loosen. For a split second I thought I saw some of the hair from the back of her neck stick up.
“What?”
“Well, Sorrow is also in the debate team!” she yelled in excitement. “Can you believe that?!”
Well Sorrow Haze was my class prefect, a hot smoking class prefect if you must know. He always had his shoes shiny, navy blazer on and smelled really good. To be honest I too really liked him.
“Wow,” with my eyes wide open.
“Right? Wow,” Apple added.
To be honest I was dying to be her for that split second, before I remembered how much I hated debating and also how much it hated me. Talk about mutual hatred.
“He’s really serious and good in stating his points if you must know,”
Stating points that made sense was something I knew Sorrow Haze was good at doing. He had once got in an argument with Bob, one of my laziest classmate who had decided he was too lazy to help in cleaning our classroom.
“Nice,” with my eyes on her glowing face.
“I wish you were also in the team so you could really see what I’m talking about,” she said with her big bright blue eyes staring at mine.
“At least I have class to see him,” I reasoned.
“I almost forgot he learns in your class,” Apple said with a little laughter.
The corner of my eye suddenly caught sight of the four weird looking teenagers who were dancing a few meters from us.
“Let’s go watch them,” Apple suggested.
To be quite frank I didn’t want to go especially since they were from the Centaury Street. I had heard a lot of messed up things about residents from the Centaury Street. One of those things was that elderly men married teenage girls.
“Come on Siren,” Apple begged me. “It will only be for a few minutes.”
“Fine,” I finally replied.
As much as I didn't like them they were really good dancers, but what caught my attention the most was their weird dress style which made them look like imaginary beings.
“Yoh!” yelled one of the four weird teenagers who had a tanned skin and thousand earrings on her face, walking toward us.
Her voice sounded deeper than that of Jack’s voice. Something was seriously off about her and her three friends.
“Let’s leave,” I whispered to Apple who had frozen like a man cursed by Medusa.
“You can’t just watch us for free,” she violently said. “Now cash up!”
One of the three weird looking teenagers who had a pale skin and large holes on his pinna switched their small radio off, causing the other two who looked like twins from hell to stare at us with their hollow eyes.
“We don’t have money,” I quickly replied in effort to dismiss us from the awkward situation we had placed ourselves in.
The teenager with large holes on his pinna lets out a short rude laughter, which made my skin crawl. Something about him felt demonic and inhumane.
I quickly pulled Apple by the hand and walked down the thirty-three street without looking back but I could still hear their loud radio playing.

I took the keys from underneath the small green mat written ‘Welcome’. It had been part of our family from when Jin and my father were still around. It was a gift from my cousin who lives in the South West of Mino City.
“Good afternoon Siren,” an old woman on a wheelchair greeted me, as she passed by humming.
I had known her as Mrs. Shem. She was one of my mother’s good friends. They would visit each other every weekend for a cup of tea. She lived upstairs with her boyfriend and her two grandchildren which were in a Primary School which was close to my high school. They were two adorable girls if you must know. One was seven years old and the other one was twelve years old.
“Afternoon Mrs. Shem,” I replied as I unlocked the door and entered our flat.
I placed my school bag and sketch book on the couch as I went to the balcony. I took the watering kettle which was beside the six potted plants.
“Hello Twinkie,” touching the small sunflower in one of the potted plants.
I started watering all the six potted plants which my mother had grown cabbages, carrots, onions, spinaches, sunflower, and roses.
My nose suddenly caught the choking smell of cigarettes. I sneezed twice. I slowly looked down the balcony and that was when I caught sight of the young man downstairs standing on the balcony smoking.
I knew him from when we were kids. He was Tydo Claw. We were doing the same grade until he dropped out two years ago after he had a baby with a woman who left him with the child.
Without me realizing it that the watering kettle had tilted, the water dripped on his head.
“Damn it,” I said between my teeth.
I quickly took cover near the pot plants. I saw him looking up while touching his head. To be honest it felt funny. I covered my mouth to muffle my laugher as I watched him disappear from the balcony.
I got up while staring at the watering kettle.
“You almost got me in trouble,”
I placed it down beside the potted plants where I had found it, then walked back inside.
I took my school bag and sketch book from the couch and headed for my bedroom which was a few steps. I pushed the door open then slammed the door behind me close. It was a small room with a small dresser and a mirror with numerous photos stuck on it.
All those photos were my memories. Memories of my father and little brother Jin who were no longer with us. I placed my school bag on the chair and walked toward my small dresser.
I placed my sketch book on it then ran my fingers on the numerous photos with a big smile on my face. Strange enough I could feel their presence in that moment. It was as if they were standing right there beside me.
“I miss you both,” I whispered softly with tears gathered in my eyes.
MY ARTThe smoke slowl skid out my lips which were pressed into a thin line. Their eyes seemed to move with me as they passed by. “Hi pretty,” a black haired man said passing by.After that sentence I felt my stomach hurt. It was just disgusting for someone as old as Plot to make that remark, especially to someone who was young enough to be his daughter. Something about his eyes seemed shady.The footsteps approaching caught my attention as the cigarette on my hand dropped on the ground. It had to be him, Jack.A familiar face appeared instead of Jack. “shit,” I mumbled pulling my hoodie up.“Siren, what are you doing out here so late?” she asked, almost pulling out her pistol from her coat.Shit April had just saw me. What was I going to tell her about being out at night.“Hi,” I nervously said.“You almost scared me you death,” she said with her with
FAMILY I walked up the stairs, feeling tired. A woman walked pass we me almost knocking me down. “Aah,”“I sorry,” she said picking up one of my crutches that had fell on the floor.“I am fin,” I replied that us when I recognized her.Long nevy black hair, eyeshadow and a red lipstick. She wore a shirt red dress, revealing her tiny thighs. “lola,”Her eyes widen. “Sister Siren,”“You okay,” I asked reaching my hand to her small face, which I recognized had a few bruises.The broken lip was what caught my eye. She jerked back with tears gathered in her eyes.“I am sorry?” before running up the stairs.I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. I was sure she was also in the same trouble as I was, having to have sex with every men in order to get a place to stay.I needed to help her, help her get out of that li
LET ME SAVE YOUWe stared at the view of the Mino city. “it’s been long since we sat here,” I began.“Yeah,”I turned to face her. “Are you really getting married?” I asked in a more serious tone.I noticed her face turning pale. “You don’t want to, do you?”“I have to go,”I held her hand. “please get me down,”“Apple, I can help you,”Tears gathered her eyes. “How? How can you help me Siren?”Her voice sounded sad and hurt at the same time.“How can you help me if my grandfather has already arranged a marriage for me? A marriage with a man don’t even know?”My eyes widen. “Let run away,” my voice came out unclear.“Run away?” she asked.“Yeah, let run away from Mino city let go far away,”“How abo
CLOSURE I stared at my mother who was folding the few clothes in their baskets.“Can I take a break?” I asked.“You can eat here,” she replied handing me my lunch box.“I mean outside,”She rose an eyebrow.“I won’t be long. Please.”She let out a sigh. “One of the girls will go with you,”“No, I will be fine on my own. You don’t have to worry about me, plus I am healing,”“Fine, but two minutes,”I smiled shortly as I got up.“Two minutes,”“Yes mother,”I walked out the crowded shop. I leaned against the wall as I slid my hand in my jacket’s pocket. I came out with a cigarette and lighter.Slowly I burnt it but as I slipped it inside my mouth. The scent of smoke filled my nose. I rested my head on the wall as I stared at the blue sky.I
NEW PATH?Hendrik’s body hands strangled me.“Now die bitch,”His grip got tighter and tighter, as I tried pulling his huge hand off my neck. “St…”My eyes rapidly opened as the sound of railing sirens filled my ears.I gently moved the blanket off my body, while I stepped on the floor. I slowly forced myself up. Crazy enough my body didn’t feel that aching anymore.I took baby steps heading to the door. I pulled the door open and walked inside the dark sitting room. The memories of Jin running around the sitting room while pulling my long skirt flashed in my mind.I quickly shook that memory off my head as I walked to the balcony.Cold wind blew my hair as I stared at the k-building which was a few meters from the L-building I was in.My eyes rushed at every corner of the flat window visible to my eyes, but there was no sign of her.“Sh
HUNT MESMICK’S KILLERSI stared at the wrecked up door before me. I took one last breath before slowly moving my hand to it. I knocked twice then waited. The laughter inside caught my ear. as I knocked again.I heard footstep approaching the door as my body started sweating. What was I doing? Why was I here? What was I going to say to him?He pulled the door open as his face appeared. “Siren,” he said in pure shock.“Hi,” I nervously said forcing out a smile. “Can I come in?”“Sure, yeah please,” opening the door for me.I walked pass him as the cigarette smoke entered my nose. The sight of most in the room created by the smoke caught my attention not that I minded. “The bandages, they are gone,”“I got them removed yesterday,” I replied walking toward the couches which I recognized were occupied.Three familiar faces caught my attent
