Uprooted

A large man filled the doorway.

"Ready to go? he asked.

The boy looked at him and then turned away.

"Will we come back soon?"

"Not for a while. Come on now."

The child picked up his ratty luggage bag and grabbed the man's hand. He took one last look at the house as they walked through the front yard.

"Your new parents are waiting for you," the large man said. "Are you excited?"
