Both boys were broke. They had no where to go and no one to turn to. Yet, they had each other, so, deep within them, they knew they would make it. Hand in hand, they walked aimlessly around town till they arrived on the train tracks. They followed the tracks, ignoring the partial danger that cane with the possibility of a train running them flat.

At the sound of a whistle, Tyler turned and noticed a train. He and Josh moved off of the tracks and watched it as it passed. Each box was containing something to be delivered to an unknown destination, the mystery remained.

At the sight of an empty cargo box with some hay, Josh grabbed Tyler's hand and ran after it till he was close enough to jump. Falling in, he noticed that Tyler was still running and struggling to catch up. Josh extended his hand as far back as he could and when their fingertips met, his heart stopped, feeling like he had the world in his hand: his world.

Tyler gripped Josh's scarred wrist and helped himself up and onto the cargo box before they entered a tunnel. He fell on top of Josh, taking that opportunity to plant a kiss on his lips.

"Where to next?"

Josh smiled, "I don't know."
