I have always had bad luck. For my entire life  everywhere I've gone there has always been some stairs I manage to fall down,or something falls on my head, and don't even get me started on girls. My Mom always told me "Just give it time Tristan, there's a right girl for you, you just haven't met her yet" Well after hearing that my  entire teenage life I decided to move out.

Biggest mistake in my life. I now live in a ratty apartment. No really my apartment has rats in it. There are at least twenty of them all living in under bed, at night u can here them scratching It's a wonder I get any sleep.  In the morning's are the worst, when I get out of bed I step on long, bony,nasty rat tales. They bite me of course, leaving bite marks, and little trickles of blood. I's a good thing I've had my ravines shot, or who knows what happen. These rats are evil the decided they have a taste for wires, the wires that run my house to be specific. After stuff stopped working and a few disasters..... let's just say I now my apartment is run by batteries.

I don't know why I don't call an exterminator and just get rid of them. Then I remember " Oh right, I'm broke, and I got fired yesterday"It wasn't even my fault. I used to work in a dinner ( the only one in the NYC that's family owned)  and i was supposed to be watching my pie, but my boss told me to go and get some celery from across the street. My luck caught up to me and they were out ( I know out of celery) so I had to run ten block down to the big grocery store . When I got back the little dinner was engulfed in flames. without a word I gave my very PO'ed boss my apron and the celery and walked home.

I am now jobless again, for the fifth time in two month's. I couldn't go to the job agency again they know me by name now, I could look in the want adds but that would mean that I would have to buy a news paper, but being broke.... I'll just have to live without. I could hustle people playing pool, but knowing my luck I would end up loosing money rather than gaining it. I could be an athlete...... Wow If I was thanking that I must be desperate. I could sell drugs. Wait no, that's illegal, and if mom found out she would never forgive me. I could......... oh who am I kidding no I can't, I can't do anything I'm a total looser.

My mind started racing. "No Tristan, no, your not a looser your just stuck in a rut." my positive thinking side says "Ya a rut that you've been stuck in for your entire life" says my pessimistic side. then my two side go into an all out brawl. I hate it when my two sides fight. cause it last's forever and It's annoying. Just then my stomach growled, I knew it was impossible to think positive much less think at all on an empty stomach. I started walking to my kitchen, on the way there a rat passed by me with a hunk of bread in it's snout, not turning to egnolige my existence or scurry away in fear. Typical very Typical.

I opened my cupboards to find nothing. This was odd, because I always had a can of soup in there at least. I decided to go look in my refrigerator to get something hopefully. I opened my refrigerator to find all my food was gone. Were did all of it go? last night there was bread and jelly, and some tuna salad right in the front. My first suspects were the rats, who else could it have been I mean they live in my apartment and as much as I don't want to admit it they have access to everything. I needed food, but shopping day wasn't until tomorrow, and no paycheck was coming. Right then  the rats confirmed my suspension, a rat went under my bed with a can opener in it's mouth. Right then and there I decided that the day wasn't worth living, do I climbed back into bed and slept the day away.        
ok this is my first deviation ever wooot!!!!!!!!!!!!! so please be nice and don't tell me how much it sucks ok. chapter two will be better I promise. but I don't have a title for the book yet so I'm open to suggestions for that.
