• “ahh, come on!” pleads a young boy
    “no, Semriam,” replies his caretaker” why do you need a watch anyway? It’s not like you have to keep track of time. Wait a couple years. Then you’ll have a use for one.”
    “fine” sulks Semriam. As the little boy and the man walk around the marketplace, Semri starts to calm down and take in the beautiful sights, smells and music from the birds. Suddenly, his peace is ruined seeing an ad for the watch he wanted

    SLICK, STYLISH, AFFORDABLE. BUY ONE TODAY!!!

    The sign showed the watch enlarged in three different colors.
    “Davaaaaarrd, pleeeeaase,” whined Semri, tugging on his caretaker’s arm “they have it in all my favorite colors!”
    “I thought you only liked green”
    “well…I like purple and blue too now”
    “wait a while”
    Semri was about to say something more until he got a nasty glare for Davard. Davard told him to wait on a nearby bench while he bought some alchohol for himself. A few minutes later a smiling man came to sit by Semri.
    “where are your parents, little one?” the man asked
    “my caretaker went to go buy something” Semriam replied with a smile
    “and he left you with his money? May I took a look?”
    “I’m not allowed to”
    Semriam cautiously grabbed the grabbed the bag of money, but the man snatched it out of his hand. As the thief ran, he caught a shadow in the corner of his eyes and was struck with a blood-curdling kick to the head. Davard grabbed the bag and returned to Semriam, saying “one day, you’ll be able to do that too” with a soft smile on his face.
