Pondering Life

Ace Trumen

Ace sat outside his house. He watched as the small children playing in the streets. He was poor and so were many of his neighbors, but at least the children still had some sort of fun. He smiled as he saw some getting into a pointless argument. It reminded him of years and years ago when Skyler and himself would play together. They've grown distant over the years, and he couldn't help but feel remorseful that he was never really there for her. To be honest, he didn't know where she was. Probably at the Training Center...maybe she was still inside the house. He didn't even bother to check. He had realized he was a bad brother, and was ashamed of it. But he tended to keep that stuff to himself. For now, he relaxed and watched the kids get back to the game they were playing. It was surprisingly intriguing.
