Take Me Away- Jerry Cantrell X Layne Staley

001

The sounds of my Skateboard Wheels hitting the ground As i Do silly tricks Just trying to give myself a good time.
I'm in a small part of Town.
Nothing much to see here.
Besides the train tracks.
Which i was about to go to if i didn't find anything in this Alley Way.
I searched for weird things.
Wether it was Bones, Cool bottle caps, Scraps i found.
Just things i thought were cool.
I'd pick 'em up and take 'em home decorating my little apartment with them.
Why not?
No better use for it all anyway.
But there was nothing in this Alleyway.
Might as well go to the train tracks.
It was night time.
But deep dark Night time.
It was 3 AM and all the creeps were out.
Grateful to be a man right now...Although i do Feel bad for all the women that get Taken here.
i was about 30 seconds away from the Traintracks.
Usually i do find some good things there, With the amount of people that cut through there, People tend to drop a lot of things.

i finally make my way up To the train tracks as I begin looking around with a flashlight.
Hey! A Rat jaw! No way. I haven't Picked up a Jaw bone in a long time.
I walk up the train tracks more.
Seeing If i could find anything more.
Eh..A couple bottle caps.
Actually, I could use those for something.
I Pick them up being Greated to the sound of hissing.
I kinda flip out not knowing what it was.
I look up thinking it's gonna be a cat.
Only for it to be...what the hell was that?
I Shine my flashlight to find a Human.
Tagging up the Train Car.

"What are you doing here?"
He Mouths the word 'Shit' as he grabs his dufflebag and BOOKS it Down the side of the train.
A Bottle of his Spraypaint Dropping From his Dufflebag.
I walk up to it and pick it up, looking back up at the train tracks...and That guy was GONE.
Damn.
I hope he knows i wasn't a Threat.
I actually need friends in this part of Town.

"Layne....Layne Stay?"
Written on the Spraypaint can in Cool sharpie Letters.
Hm, I hope He comes back..
He must have thought i was here to bust him.

I Look on the train car to be greeted with a Beautiful Mural of Bones and Headstones.
But it looked so Cool.
I look at all the other ones, Painted in the same style.
Which i'm assuming were obviously His.
and they were Awesome.
But i figured i would get home.
It was getting close to 4am and it was Getting Quite Creepy.

On the way home i found more bottles and A couple more Animal Bones.
i just thought bones were Cool.
I kept them all in a box for now, But i was gonna do something with them.

***
I'd finally made it home, And i keep thinking about that guy..
I Sorta saw his face.
He wasn't all that ugly.
He had a Black Beanie on and a Basic Worn down leather Jacket with Blue jeans.
I still have his can.
It was sitting right next to me on my nightstand.
i was definitely gonna go back down to the train tracks again tomorrow night to see if I could find him again and give it back to him.
His hair was Pink and curly, it was kinda Popping out of the beanie.
He had Blue eyes and Mild facial hair.
He was pretty tiny too.

Eh. Hopefully i'll see him tomorrow.
