Title: No Title

Karen struggled with the knot in her eight year old brothers shoe. "Now stop wiggling!" She demanded. Joe sat still thumping the old chair with his fingers. Karen, let's go!Now!Her mother yelled, running down the hall past Karen and out the door. Karen yanked at the knot, gave up and stood to her feet. Okay Joe, go on out with Mama, I gotta get my stuff! Joe nodded and ran out the door. Karen dashed down the hall and into her small room, things were scattered all over the place. She snatched her back pack up off of the dresser and ran back down the hall and out of the house. Her mother was backing out of the driveway. MAMA!WAIT!Karen screamed running after her. You get your ass in this car now and don't let me have to tell you again!She yelled, slamming on the brakes and sending Joe crashing into the back of her seat. Karen pulled open the passenger door."Creeeeeeak" dammit, Karen!Her mother screeched, you know the door doesn't open all the way!No I did
They rode the rest of the way in silence. When they finally arrived at their destination point Karens mother stopped put the car in park and turned it off. They sat a moment, then, her mothers voice ripped the blissful silence. Well, get your asses out, we aint got all day. Karen climbed out and went around to the other side, she took Joes hand and together they walked behind their mother and into the large gray building.

Mama!Wait!Joe screamed flinging himself after her. Karen grabbed him and together they
Karen grabbed Joe and clutched him to her.Tears streamed down her face. Joe hugged her and looked up at her, where did mama go? He questioned. I.... I, don't know. Suddenly a woman appeared behind them and took Karen by the arm, smiling she led them to another set of doors back inside the building. Where did our mom go? Karen asked, gulping down sobs. She went away, the woman said in a heavy accent. She won't be coming back, this is where you'll live now. The Texicana Orpaninge. Karen looked at the woman. Come now, she said, leading them down a hallway and into a large room. The walls were lined with beds, it was empty now but is was obvious that children lived here because the little table between each two beds was littered with pictures and books.Karen walked to a bed that had sign above it that said "un-occupied".
