Day 69: Noon - Main Street
Oh man, the world was so bright! Billy Takashi had forgotten how many colors the world could make that weren't just white, grey, and dark green. He was free, healthy(er), and it was Friday so even better! His back was to Landel's Institute as he carried onward to Doyleton with his best friend at his side.
They didn't really have much in the way of transportation, so it was hiking for both of them; not that Billy minded. It felt good to just be in the sunshine, walking through nature, and toward his former life he had to put on pause for months. His friend asked him if he felt any better after everything and, to be honest, Billy wasn't sure. His imagination still got the better of him, but he was a little boy! Besides, he finally stopped telling everyone he had a tail so that was a step forward in the right direction, right?
The town didn't seem any different, and yet everything felt different. He wasn't sure why. He used to come here every week when he was hospitalized in the Landel's, so how could it be such a strange feeling? Huh, who the hell knew. There were more important things to deal with, like grocery shopping! Billy didn't even mind that their Grandpa was just too lazy to do it in himself, and since Sonny was already going out to pick up Billy...
But, of course, it hadn't ended there. There were other errands that needed to be run, which bored the young boy to tears! It was like Landel's all over again, having to do what everyone else told him. By the time the third bag had been placed in his arms, Billy was already shuffling his feet like a petulant child about to start a tantrum.
"How much more of this do we gotta do?! I'm hungry!" he whined as they moved down Main Street. Manhandling the bags in his arms, he stuffed one stubby hand down a paper sack to steal something to snack on.
