@shsl-house-keeper liked for a starter! ...in the general verse???
Much to Momotaro’s inconvenience today, the sun wasn’t shining and he didn’t have any food for himself on hand. Yes he still had some kibidango, but those were reserved for OTHER beings that needed it.
The young teen grumbled a bit while he was doing a bit of dumpster diving in the alley for food. He was hungry but he was used to doing this sort of activity. The only problem was that other people hated the very act of digging in the trash. Even if they were the ones who tossed out that still edible matter.
At least the boy had the decency to leave his bindle stick with the kibidango outside of the dumpster. No need to dirty that, the camera, and photos.
Sensing that he might’ve been heard again, the boy paused his movements...these new footsteps can be dangerous...
