Outcast

*Outcast noun:* _a person who is rejected (from society or home)_ *adjective:* _excluded from a society_ _____________________________________________________________________________________

The air is so hostile, almost like it's hanging over a battlefield instead of a baseball field. All of these people, glaring at me like I don't belong. It's saddening, really. All I want to do is go home, but I have no way to do so. Walking in this neighborhood is pure suicide. I feel the definition of the word "outcast" seems to hang over me like a cloud. Why do I have to be here in this broken place of my childhood? Bubbles fly away behind me, taunting me with their bright colors as they fly away. Lucky little edgeless cubes…they can go home. I can't. I have to stay here for all nine or more innings…for a reason I still don't know or understand. I feel like I'm comatose…and will be until I get home.
