He tried the only number left.
They had forgotten his birthday again.
Alone, Daniel kept hopeful all afternoon.
“Mom’s late.” He has no idea…
He sat alone. No one cared.
Dad’ll call, he said he would…
Waiting for the world to load.
Enrapt, he missed the world’s departure.
His finger hovered over their name…
Goodbye to my old life.
