I am walking home one evening.
It's late, it's dark and it's not a safe area.

I see a young boy infront of me.
He pauses to think...
He doesn't seem to know where he is going.
He changes direction...

He passes me and asks if I have a pen.
- I don't.
He then asks if I want to buy I phone.
-I say no.

He talks quietly,
Looking down at the ground.
He looks kind of lost.
Not like the kids that normally hang out here.

He starts to walk away.
I stop him and ask if he's okay.
-He says yes.
Then walks away.
I know he's not.

Today I see a missing poster in a shop..
...it's him...

  2. Unfortunately it is true. :-( Was when I was in Nottingham, I phoned the police of course. I also saw him mentioned on the local news, but then I went home for the holidays and I never found out what happened to him.
