Spinner

Spinner

Born in the ghettos, Spinner was left in the care of his grandmother while his mother sold her body to feed herself, him, and her addiction. Spinner would be waiting for days for his mother to return home. His grandmother would feed him whatever she had in her small flat and let him sleep in her bed. Spinner's mother would return weeks or months later. Spinner hated seeing her drunk or high but he was too excited seeing her again than to scold her. Spinner would hear his grandmother and mother arguing and one day Spinner's mother told her mother that if she loved him so much that she could keep him. Spinner ran after his mother and begged her to stay, but she left. Spinner cried for days and told his grandmother that he was being a bad boy and that's why she left. Spinner's grandmother said that his mother left not because of him but her addictions took her. Spinner swore he'd never be like her. Years went by for Spinner and his grandmother. One day, Spinner's grandmother became sick and could barely get out of bed. Spinner was still so little and weak that there was so little he could do. One night, Spinner got up after hearing his grandmother coughing. The violent coughs would not stop and Spinner began to worry for his grandmother that he ran to get her a glass of water. When he returned, she was gone. Spinner stared at her still body for a long time before crawling back in bed with her. Spinner never cried.

The next morning, Spinner woke up to the sound of glass breaking and shuffling. Walking to the kitchen, Spinner saw four men throwing out his grandmother's belongings. He never knew that they were about to be evicted. Spinner watched as they headed to the bedroom. All was silent. Spinner waited and one by one the men went outside. One ruffled Spinner's soft hair before leaving to find the doctor. Spinner ate whatever food they had left and packed the small things and a pole his grandmother had in case of a robbery. Spinner kissed his grandmother goodbye before heading out the door where he found his mother. Spinner asked her what did she want. Spinner's mother told him that she heard what had happened and came to pick him up. Spinner took a step back and said that he was going because she doesn't care for him only her addictions. Spinner's mother said that she would always sit outside by the flat to hear him talk to her mother, but Spinner didn't want to hear it. Before his mother could pick him up, Spinner ran.

For weeks, Spinner wandered on the streets until he found a Temple that was giving out bread for the poor. Spinner got a loaf before walking inside the Temple. Inside was cool and clean with pillars and statues of the Deities and Guardians. Spinner looked up at the one of a God with raven black hair. Spinner was drawn to him and sat behind him. Being near the statue, Spinner felt at peace. He couldn't read, but the only thing he could read was the word "Wind" Spinner fell asleep there. After a few hours, Spinner woke up and saw that the lights were off but the candles. He was locked inside the Temple. Spinner didn't mind because he was by the Wind God and he had shelter for the night. Spinner took a few candles before heading back to the Wind God to sleep some more. Spinner looked out the window and saw the brightness star in the dark sky. For the first time in months, Spinner wept because he was alone. No one to call family. Spinner made a wish.

"Please, God of the Wind... Send me a friend. I don't care if it is a Deity or Guardian. Send me someone to keep and love. I wish that you can hear me. Amen."

The star winked at him and Spinner fell asleep. At dawn when the Priests and Priestesses opened the Temple doors, Spinner bolted out the window. The day was long and hot as Spinner walked around for easy people to swindle. Spinner walked into a bar to see if he could steal some peanuts or money from the drunks. Spinner saw a man with his back turned as he flirted with a harlot. Spinner reached over and grabbed the man's money bag. Sadly the bag didn't come off the belt and the man saw him. Spinner was dragged outside by the man. Spinner tried to run, but he was caught. Spinner howled and fought, but the man only looked at him up and down. Spinner learned that the man's name was 'Yad' and was forced to stay with him. Spinner had no choice but to obey. For days, Spinner tried to run but Yad always caught him. Months flew and Yad would take Spinner out with him on a leash to swindle the people. Spinner was in awe with Yad at his side. One day, Spinner walked around with Yad all day outside. At night Yad told him to look down. The leash was gone. Spinner walked all day free but never ran. Yad knew he had won Spinner's trust. Spinner and Yad became good friends and swindled together. Spinner went to the Temple late at night and thanked that Wind God. Veter had sent him a friend.
