She was very sensitive, overly sensitive perhaps. the cactii which lay 10 metres away from her could be felt. She felt its needles piercing her skin, just the top , epidermal layer which shielded her from the outside world. Ouch.It hurt, it was almost as if her nerves had been disected.From a distance now, she could feel pain beyond material hurt such as that by the cactii. Now, she could feel pure misery and loneliness as she heard the calling of a lil ol' lady from the distance. A dollar. A dollar was all the ol' lady asked for, but no passing stranger was willing to give it to her. Nobody was willing enough to part with that dime or shilling in their bag of coins.Nobody at all. The cruelty and selfishness of the world, kate thought to herself. The misery was growing and growing within her as she felt the ol' lady holding back her tears, after having gone without food for 2 consecutive days. Kate dug in her pockets and found a fifty cent coin.She wished she had more to give that ol' lady, but that was all she had, fifty-cents.She handed it over to the pitiful lady and was thanked continuously, but kate still felt guilty, for she only had fifty-cents left with her that day,and was unable to make up for the other half of the dollar, or even more.How she wished she could meet that lady again, and maybe prepare a table full of cakes and tea.
