WHO: Sam Ford & Leah Clearwater
WHAT: Sam's bored and decides to sneak out go exploring. Sorta.
WHEN: Early evening
WHERE: The courtyard in between Housing Buildings A and C.
RATING: TBD
STATUS: In Progress
Dusk was just starting to settle as Sam quite calmly stepped out of the apartment he'd been living in with his father and Sophie, and made his way to the stairs leading out of the building. He wasn't planning on being gone very long - just five, maybe ten minutes - and while he knew that he should have probably told his dad where he was going, part of him was a little excited at the thought of being off on his own. Yes, he was fairly young but it wasn't as though he was going to go clear across the city or anything. He just wanted to get away from the four walls that he'd been forced to call home, and didn't want to wait until 'later' to do it.
He didn't think to bring any toys. While admittedly young, the boy didn't own very many playthings. Mostly puzzles and books, of which he brought one of the latter for his little trip. He had a perfect destination in mind, too, and wasted no time upon exiting the building in seeking out the area he'd been eying from his bedroom window.
The courtyard reminded him of a set off of one of those movies that his mom used to make his dad watch. The flowers seemed to always be in bloom, the grass was a brilliant color of green, and now that the soot and ashes from the fire in the other building had blown away from the constant light breeze that wafted through the trees, the boy figured it was okay enough for him to visit. He spotted a bench the second he stepped outside but instead of heading to it opted for a small bit of grass near a scattering of trees.
With a smile on his face that was born from excitement, he stretched out onto his stomach. Propping his chin up with one hand, feet kicking up in the air absently behind him, he opened his book and began to read - as best as he could manage, at least. All too soon, he was completely lost in the fictional world that the story provided and was wholly unaware a few minutes later when someone else decided to pay the courtyard a visit as well.
