Snippet #2369591

Varick heard the bell ring from his position sitting atop the schools roof-top. Staring out at the swarm of ants called students as they fled the ant-hill. Crushed underfoot by the holidays.

"Well, If they're all packing then I'm done slacking. Time to head home and finally get ready for this thing!" He said with a grin and a stretch,to nobody but himself. As he slid down and off the roof,onto a nearby stair-railing that he happily slid down with an attention catching shout,before falling off and landing hard on the concrete...he was alright..just winded,and grazed. "Ouch..ow...owie.....Ow again. Okay..Guess I'm adding first-aid to the list of things to do, Yay band-aids!" He grumbled,slinking off to his house.

Varick slowly pushed open the door to the dump that was his home, greeted only by his cat, the fast-food from the night before and an empty house. He picked up his cat 'Einstein' and trudged along the cracked and rotting floor-boards until he got to his room. The only room in the house that wasn't dead empty and wrecked. Piles of CD's DVD's and Games stacked up in neat cases along the walls around his king-sized bed, The only room that still had electricity thanks to his superb ability to hi-jack the neighbours.

He brushed down the bed,pulled out the new suit-case he had been saving up for months to buy and filled it full of everything he thought he'd need. "Aaah..Nothing like home eh Einstein?...I'll be gone for awhile, but I'm leaving enough food to feed an elephant so you better not leave me alone you hear!" He yelled,with fake enthusiasm as he trudged back out the house,leaving the promised mountain of food behind. "I'll be home soon...I alway's am.." He said with a hint of sadness,the door squeaking shut behind him as he left for the meeting place. One quick wave to his neighbour was all that was required to keep up the charade. The outside of the house was immaculate and the mail and bills were still being payed as they had always been.
