Outside by Oscar Zhao

What does outside mean? Going out, or a place? Such a lot of definitions. And no answers. Outside. Adventures, places, people can see it every day, or play there every day.  Inside. We can’t see it or it’s mysterious. People are walking on the street. Wait, they are not. They walk there again. Vaguely. Do they? That is strange. You can see them with a smile and a black shirt. Just a moment. Their faces are tearful and scared. Are they happy? No, but they are not angry at all. But we cannot see. There is a boy with a blue shirt and very tall. He is crying, laughing, shouting. Strange, who is it? No one. There’s a girl as well. No one at all. Are they in the outside? No, they are not, we cannot see them. They are not in the outside. Are they in the inside? No. they are not. There in the outside there are a boy and a girl and a lot of people. Inside or outside? We don’t know.
