"Friend omelet not" - Shawne reads the poor graffiti on an old, grey cracked wall out loud, which has an amateur line drawing of a yellow chick popping out of a semi egg shell. "I want omelets" Shawne pressed down on her stomach, as if doing that can sooth her days of hunger. She wanders by the junk yard, digging up something of value to trade with the other homeless. Maybe even something valuable enough to get some cash for food. Shawne wants an egg sandwich. Her clothes smells like one that's been left our for days. It's a simple wish.
