Snippet #943207

A morning breeze blew in from the cracked window, blowing across the young mans face it caused him to stir a little rising up in time to see a glint of sunlight burst through the crack. In a leap of exhaustion he fell to the floor belly down, slowly he crawled across the floor and reached up to the shades which he pulled as hard as he possible could dropping them over the window. Chase winced slightly looking down at the nick on his elbow from the drop to the floor he must have scratched his arm off the corner of his bed post, annoyed by his childish reaction he stood up and stretched wiping the blood droplets away as if they never existed. Slowly his arms came up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes turning he now faced the mirror that was attached to his mahogany dresser, looking into the mirror he traced the scars around his right eye and yawned covering his mouth with his left hand the one that had traced the scar. Today would be another terrible day in the life of Chase Lockhart his eyes darted around the room eying the door to the bathroom he wanted to take a shower but had the night before and the bed head look would be perfect for facing the anguish the day gave him. With his right hand he tugged on the handle to the dresser and pulled out his gray tee and a pair of cargo jeans. It took him only five minutes to get dressed as well as find his shoes.

Just ten minutes after the sunlight encounter he stood before his mirror staring deeply into waiting for the person who looked back at him to smile it wouldn't happen even if summon held a gun to his head, the room was dark so dark that looking about he could only make out the shape of his bed and the facial features of the mirror boy. "Another day another dollar', he muttered raising his left hand a shadow wisp reached up the door to the bathroom and shut it while another pulled his back pack off his computer chair and wrapped it onto his back. "Thank you friends", he whispered and then he pulled a scarf on and wrapped it around his neck covering his mouth. With absolutely no eagerness at all he pulled open the door and walked out into the hall after he was free of his room he turned around and locked the door with a key he had produced with his hand after the door was secure he slipped the key back down into his left pocket. Shadows seeped from under his door and wrapped around him allowing him to phase through the floor he landed down on the next floor and continued on his daily rounds. Quietly he headed off to the cafe ready for a socially inept breakfast.
