ooc- ive noticed that a lot of people here post in 1st person present tense... Can I do it in 3rd person past tense?
Bella sat in the kitchen of their small home.
If you could call it that, she thought in disgust. She shook her head, trying to wipe away the treacherous thought. She loved this house. She needed it.
She stood and began rummaging in the kitchen. This was the normal routine for mornings: Get up, check on Mom, sit in the kitchen, see if there is anything for breakfast. most days, she and her mother went without breakfast, sometimes without lunch. But dinner was a... almost a tradition. She opened the last cabinet, one of two, in dismay. She had an empty feeling in the pit of her stomach, maybe hunger, but also the dread of no food.
She was correct. There was only a few crumbs and a half used sack of old flour in there. She sighed.
Going to find paper and a pen, she wondered if she would ever be full. She wrote a note:
Morning, Mother. Gone out to get some food. I'll be back.
Love, Bella
She stepped into her boots, took hold of the front door, and walked out into the streets.
