The Sausage

Something I wrote a long time ago...

Once upon a time, there was a nameless girl, or a girl with no name, no identity. She spent her days doing the same dreary routine: wake up, feed younger siblings, go to school, come home, take care of said younger siblings until nightfall, then go to sleep, only to awake once more the next day with a whole lot of the same to do.

But then she met a man, a man with a bum leg and a rather large lump on the left side of his head. They met by chance; He was walking down the street as the girl was walking up it on her way toward home from school. He stumbled and fell into the street, and the girl pulled him back to the sidewalk and safety. The man thanked her for her kindness, gave her something that was wrapped in butcher paper, got up, and started away. Our favorite girl uncovered the object inside the package, and to her utter... -Whatever the heck one feels when they find something so out of place, so strange, that it makes them second-guess the nature of, well... Everything... So lets just go with- ... Astonishment, discovered it held a lump of sausage. Confused, she turned around to ask something along the lines of "What the hell?" only to find the odd man had vanished. She couldn't explain it, but she had a feeling that her life would never be the same, that the man and the lump of pork she was holding in her hand would somehow alter her destiny. She was scared... but she was also hungry.
