The Street Walkers

"Listen to what I am saying. I'm done."

And just like that he was gone. Tyler James had walked our of our lives. We watched him go, down the street, towards the red sun. The tall, curly headed, boy in a sleeve-less tee and those camo sagging shorts, now only a sillouette. Still could hear his dog tags clinking together with each step. He was leaving with our futures and now it was over, we were done for, but somehow it didn't even matter. No one woulda thought he would leave us, and if Tyler James didn't believe in us anymore, then why should we?
