A little child, barely ten years old, was running in the dark, trash-filled alley of the slum with a worried expression on his face. His clothes were torn apart and looked like they hadn't been washed for days. The fact that so many flies were buzzing around his body and that some of them had even settled on his clothing made it obvious. He appeared to be in a rush and needed to get to his destination as soon as possible.
He was looking ahead as he ran wildly when he stumbled over a can and fell to the ground. He pushed himself up and began running without wasting time.since his face had fallen on the filthy ground it was even more messed up than before. However, he did not clean his face with his hand because his hand was also dirty.
While he was running, he noticed some additional slum children who were lying around but got up when they saw him and they gave him a thug-like stare while blocking his way. One of them took a step forward and announced.
"Hey Kevin, why do not you come over here and give us some money if you have any?"
All of them were beggars, and the majority of them did not even had parents.
Kevin was in a hurry and did not have time to waste, and if he stayed with these kids, they would not let him through easily.
"uhh, I am sorry, but I really have nothing on me right now. Please let me through; I am in a hurry."
Kevin tried his best to make them let him through . But instead of giving a way they walked towards him with a menacing smile on their faces.
One of them approached him, placed his hand on Kevin's shoulder, and looked at Kevin's worried expression as if he were enjoying it.
"Common, You have some spare time for your brothers, don't you?"
He said with a manic smile before grabbing Kevin's hair and dragging him a few metres.
Kevin
"Please just let me go this time, I'm really in a hurry"
Kevin was slammed to the ground by the kid, and placed his foot on his head.
"Oh, it's looks like our brother is in a hurry that he doesn't even have just some little time to play with us"
All the kids laughed at Kevin while his face was stuck between the dirt-covered ground and the kid's foot.
"Alright now let's see if you have something under your pocket or not"
One of the other children moved forward and reached into Kevin's pocket.
"Oh, it appears that he has nothing at all, brother."
The child pushed his foot even harder as it was pressing against Kevin's face.
"Ohh, so our brother really have nothing? Why do not we just take his pants then, right?"
The kid who just checked Kevin's pocket stepped forward again and put his hands on Kevin's pocket
"That is a good idea; you do not mind if we take your pants, do you?"
He said as he pulled out Kevin's pant.
Kevin's eyes welled up with tears, but he could not help but suffer, hoping that they would finish everything soon so he could do what he wanted to do.
Those kids laughed and laughed and even kicked on Kevin's bum, and made his pants dirty, they threw some garbage on his lower body and also did the same thing on his front side.
"Common I guess it is enough for today, let's go and.. don't forget to bring money next time if you don't want this to happen with you"
They left kevin on that situation and left the place.
A young girl from one of the houses, which was covered in spider webs and cracks, looked out of her window and burst out laughing when she saw Kevin.
"Mama look at him,"
"Huh? ha what are you laughing at"
A woman in his mid-thirties who lived in the same house glanced out and noticed Kevin in his pitiful situation .
The young girl pointed her finger at Kevin.
As her focus fell at Kevin's lower body she laughed even more
"haha I guess he is even poor than us huh, I can't tell if he truly naked or those black things are his pants"
As the woman looked at Kevin covered with garbage she knew what had happened with him. She looked with concern and pulled her kid inside.
"Moma why you.."
"Shut up, it's a bad thing to laugh at others"
Now that he was free, Kevin got up without hesitation and picked up his pants that were on the gutter. He simply ran with the pant in his hand because there was no water available nearby to wash it.
He washed his pants as he got close to a water tap, put them back on, and then began running.
He began running on the main road as soon as he left the slum. He collided with some people and received slapping even though he had apologised.
Just after a few moments he reached In front of a small private medical store and as he saw the doctor he knelt In Front of him .
"Please my mom is in a serious situation, she would die if you don't help her"
Kevin pleaded In Front of the pharmacist while his face was filled with dirt and tears.
"What can I do kid? I just gave medicines that's all, and I even gave you medicine many times even with a low cost. Go to the hospital"
Kevin Got a bit confused since he thought this was the hospital
"Hospital where.. where is that?"
The pharmacist thought it was a perfect opportunity for him since she was about to die anyway he could do anything with her and get the money from brat.
"Alright you have money right"
The doctor asked.
Kevin steared at the doctor for a few seconds without saying anything.
"Go fuck yourself then if you don't even have any money, hey kick him out of this place"
The pharmacist ordered one of the guards.
"Please doctor I can repay you later somehow, please just this once"
Kevin pleaded but the doctor didn't looked back and the guard throw him out.
The doctor went inside his cabin with a angered face
"sigh, She would be like a skeleton by now anyway, it's for the better"
Kevin stood helplessly outside the drugstore, tears streaming down his cheeks
