<<Hyuck, your sketches.>>
<<Huh?>>
<<I wanna see what you've drawn during this trip.>>
Heachan took out his sketches and showed them to Mark.
<<You've drawn quite a lot,  and you're good too.>>
<<This is one of the few activities i'm allowed to indulge in at home. I've only ever lived in that town, so everything I've encountered has been new to me.>>
<<Who is this?>>
<<I saw her at a cafe. I worked at, in Oklahoma. She was always dressed up and gazing outside the window.>>
<<Hmmm...>>
<<He's the owner of a liquor store. He would always sit at the front of the store and take a nap around 2 pm. with his cats.
I saw this family at a motel on the way here. These two siblings would always wave at me whenever they saw me. They were really cute.>>
<<...and this?>>
<<a lady I saw at a church... she held her head down , praying and crying in cessantly. I wonder if she found salvation..>>

Heachan looked at Mark in a serious way.
In the end , the one who saved me wasn't God or the Virgin Mary. It was my choice to go along with you. Everything else was vain. I wonder what everything I've done until now was for. But you let me choose , and never forced me. The incredibly straight roads, the blazing sun along the horizon, the smell of town unbeknownst to me. People i couldn't even imagine meeting. These arr all proof of my will and choice. Even if I can't see them again, the proof that I was present will continue to linger in the memory of that place. It's my hope that I can also stay in someone's memory like this one day.>>

*and someday also... I hope I can become the gentle landscape to the uneasiness you always seem to harbour. As we experience more worlds together, I hope the place where you can feel at ease will continue to increase and that there is a beautiful moment in the landscape you recall within your memory.*

Mark took Heachans hand and holf it to his cheeks.
<< I love your sketches. They're gentle, clear, and like the sun , they excude this warmth. I feel like I can see the world through your eyes.>>
<<it's because I have you.>>

*but the more time we spend together, the more my heart grows fonder of you . It feels like as we go on , my existence will lead to regret.*

* Mark sleeps with the women who stay at the motel and the ones he exchanges glances with on the street. That's how he earns money for our trip.*

* the smell of perfume*

* Marks eyes go out of focus due to drugs, there's no doubt that before he met me, he didn't take any, but it somehow got a little worse.*

<< for a hag like you , we're the ones calling it off!>>
<<Go home and find your own comfort, you b!tch!>>
<<GO TO HELL , AS$HOLES!!!>>

As the man goaway, you can hear the laughing of both of them.
Heachan couldn't take it anymore and went to the poor lady who tried to get some money. (With you know what)

<< ...Let me help you..>>

The lady snapped her arm away and looked devastated at the young boy.
Afterwards, she started to cry bitterly.

<<Don't look..at my wretched self ... I don't need sympathy,  especially from a foolish child. Unless you are keeping me company>>
<<sure.>> Heachan didn't think of anything and just spitted it out. He thought that the lady needed some company and could use some good time with a good-looking man.

* I wanted to know how it is for Mark. He does it on the regular , with anyone.*

<< I look terrible.  Let me go fix my make-up.>>
<<sure, don't worry. I will fix myself too...>>

After they were done fixing them selfs, Heachan started to kiss the legs of the lady until...

<< ... I can't.... I had a child. If he were alive, he'd be your age. I can't do it.>>
<< Can you tell me your name?>>
<<Maria.>>
<<...Maria...>>

* Maria . Am I a sinner?! What did I just do...*

Heachan started to cry , and he cried so much that he fell asleep on the lap of Maria.  She was so nice to put him to bed and left a thank you note for him on the table.*

Mark came into the room after a long night and saw heacahn peacefully asleep. But he also noticed the note beside his bed.

Hello guys !
I'm sorry that I was gone for so long, but I had so much school stress and stress at home that I just couldn't find the time to write. I hope you can understand. I know that I don't have many readers, but I still wanted to let you know I'm still alive!!!
