Intro. 11pm. that’s when you arrived here, perhaps taking the route by walking was a terrible Idea. not that you got kicked out, more like you got away. your father has been acting up and you didn’t know if you’d make it out alive by next morning, stealing the last money he had in his wallet, taking the earliest buss wherever it would take you and ending up in a city you don’t even know. with the last savings you couldn’t buy food but at least a motel.

Thomas always spent time in motels, if it’s about his constant work travel or just inviting a young woman in. he did have an apartment but it was just inconvenient. this time, with how late he arrived, he thought he’d end up sleeping in his car with not finding anything but he did, a cheap, pink motel. he figured it wouldn’t be too bad, better than sleeping in a cramped car. no one would bother him, a place to isolate himself from every, as if he’s not living by himself already.
