child comes out of the building wanders around the area , an old woman comes towards the child and asks

"are you lost little one?"

"lost? did.. did I belong somewhere?"

the old woman gazes into the child's eyes and takes the child in , she takes him to the police station

"yes ma'am what's bothering you?"

"this child , this child lives around our rental building , in an abandoned building"

"Oh right , I have had many complaints regarding this case , is the child yours?"

"no he isn't , but he's abandoned , I don't think this child has any place to go , can you do me a favor as a senior citizen?"

"yes ma'am anything"

"can you take care of him?"

"I'm sorry to say but this is out of my authority , I don't decide who to keep and whom not to , it's the higher ranks who look into cases , I inform them and take care of little cases"

"can you look into some place , just to keep him safe in case"

"I'll check ma'am let me take the child , I'll find him a place to stay , if not , I'll take him in my place for a while"

"you must"

"why do you insist ma'am" he questions

"he is quite special you see , he needs urgent help"

"alright" he answers

the child looks at the old woman

"excuse me ma'am"

the woman looks at the child and replies back

"is something bothering you kid?"

he stares

"let me be"

the woman gets confused and before she questions him , he answers

"because I'm a monster , a monster that you do not need to be aware of , the cops can't do anything for me , thank you for caring , but I'd like to wander on the street alone"

"won't you be hungry?"

"hungry?"

the woman looks and let's the child go , but tells the cop to look after him as well , the cop looks at the woman strangely and reassures her that the child will be safe around the police station

the woman leaves as she watches the child wander around , she feels pressured by the child , a feeling that the child may bring destruction if not tamed by the right person..

the woman does not understand the child yet

the child looks back at the woman blankly and says

"I think I have sinned for I have not have lied"

"what do you mean little one?"

"people usually prefer it if I hid my monstrous self , yet you found me , and gazed into my horrendous eyes , for having to tell all of this to an anonymous cop and a woman , I don't think you'll be safe if you care for me , stay away.."

the woman looks at the child and nicely asks

"do you have a name? , aren't you sad that your parents left you?"

"I don't have a name , and what's sad?"
