Jimmy Trisler
Before he left, he didn't have a plan. He didn't have a lit screen, a set path, or a piece of paper with red and blue lines in his bag to show him where to go or how long it would take. Instead, he had a quiet restlessness that wouldn't go away until he had to move. He didn't say anything about it. The choice to leave was made during the dullest time. Early morning light hit the back of a chair, the edge of a table, and the half-packed bags that were lying on the floor in his small room. All over the city, people were already getting up.
Pavement roads that had been worn down by years of walking were resonating with the sound of feet. Buses whined at stops, and store owners yelled at people who came early. He didn't want to do anything, like he was watching his own life go by without him. It took him years to learn how to follow the rules set by his family, his job, his teachers, and himself. Every move was smart, safe, and made sense. After school, there was work, then a schedule, and finally a quiet tiredness that made it hard to feel things over time without being seen. There was no problem at all. It was like having a word on the tip of your tongue that you just couldn't quite form.
