[QUOTE="Krizzel, post: 663756, member: 9062"] Monday, 6:15am Murphy apartment, Calumet Park There was a knock on Macario's bedroom door. "Macario? It's time for school, dear!" Footsteps creaked away on the old floor as his mom walked all the way on down to the kitchen - hardly more than a corner of the single main room of their apartment. Built back in the fifties, the Hyde Housing Projects might have been nice once, but they hadn't aged well at all. Nor had the area around them, and it had turned into one of the more run-down sections of Calumet Park, although at least the crime wasn't too bad - especially in comparison to south side proper. Two bedrooms, a small bathroom, and the main room was all that what was left of Macario's father's money could afford. Where he was, no one seemed to know - it'd been so long, maybe he really was dead. The government pension money would go to Marcario's mom in that case, but without a death certificate it was just held in limbo somewhere. Until that changed, his mom would have to continue to work her waitressing job to make enough money for food and the rest of the bills. [/QUOTE]
