Sanctuary!
Well, things have progressed smoothly since my last post. First order of business, I have found a home! A kindly old man saw fit to grant me shelter during a brief storm that appeared shortly after my time at the Al’s. He runs a small restaurant and the space above was vacant. His son used to live there, though he left some time ago. I could not thank the man enough for his generosity, I can only hope that all the people I meet are so kind.
We haven’t yet spoken of payment (he brushed away the subject every time I sought to broach it) and I do feel this time is a gift that I must not squander. I came here to restart my life, to find something new. Well, this seems like as auspicious a start as any, from an apartment on top of an old chinese restaurant. I am kept awake now by the sound of delivery carts and the trucks of purveyors.
Still, it will not do to simply lounge about, whiling away my days. I must attain employment of some kind. I do not think it will be very difficult, at least, I hope not. This is a big city, and I seem to be gifted with preternatural strength. Heavy boxes pose no problem to me, at the very least. Surely I’ll be able to find work? Anyway, tomorrow my search begins in earnest. Please, wish me luck. I feel I’ll need it.
