Looking frantically through the unorganized crates of food, Ali's eyes begin to dampen. The shoes his sister is waiting for at home are nowhere to be found.
Suddenly, as he reaches deep between the crates they begin to crash down on top of him. The food covers the street like a rainbow covers the sky. The owner of the store came crashing out of the front door yelling at Ali to leave. His oversized figure shadows over Ali as he bellows out at him.
Ali raced off down the dirt covered road. He sprinted down the narrow streets all the way home. He reached the entrance to his home. The clothes hanging from lines of wire are hanging above musty rugs, and are enclosed with cracked walls.
A look of terror came over Ali's face as he realized he had to tell his baby sister the shoes she so desperately needed were gone.
