Two runaway boys slipped to the back of an upmarket strip mall. They hurried toward the closest dumpster. “See? It wasn’t so difficult to get away from that foster family,” Steve said. Mike lifted the dumpster lid. “They’ll report us to Child Protective Services though, and then we’ll have to worry about cops,” he sighed. “And there’s nothing to eat in this dumpster.” Steve removed a cardboard box. There wasn’t food inside it, just a shabby jacket. “This might work as a pillow, right?” He said, lifting it. Mike rolled his eyes, digging deeper into the dumpster. Steve saw something inside the jacket’s pocket. “Mike! Our mom…she had the same one,” Steve grabbed his brother’s shoulder and showed what was in his hand. “Do you even remember our mom passed away?” Mike asked. But then he turned pale, seeing what his twin brother held in his hand. The full story is in the comments.

Thirteen-year-old twins, Mike and Steve, are on the run from foster care. While digging through a dumpster for food, Steve discovers a jacket with a unique bottle of perfume in its pocket.

He’s convinced this is a sign his mom is still alive and sets out to find her. Two runaway boys slipped into the service area at the back of an upmarket strip mall. Steve flashed his twin, Mike, a gleeful grin as they hurried toward the closest dumpster.

“See? It wasn’t so difficult to get away from that foster family,” Steve said.Mike humphed and lifted the dumpster lid. “For now. They’ll report us to Child Services though, and then we’ll have to worry about cops as well as finding food.”

Mike sighed. “And there’s nothing to eat in this dumpster.” “Wait, what’s that?” Steve reached in and removed a cardboard box. Unfortunately, there wasn’t food inside it, just a shabby jacket. “This might work as a pillow or blanket, right?”
