#34: Abandoned Bike

It hadn't always been rusty. t used to shine a bright blue color. Its wheels were flat and the cards that had been stuck on the spokes of the wheels had been ripped and torn. Some of them were missing. Years had gone by since anyone had bothered with that bike. It used to be that a little boy owned that bike and would ride it everywhere all the time, but that by grew older and went to college, not giving a second thought to the bike. He could have donated it. He could have sold it. He could have left it in his parent's garage, but what did he do instead? He left it down by the lake, forgotten. There had been some harsh winters, and very wet seasons, coupled with various storms. Through all types of weather, the bike stood there. Abandoned and left for garbage. Some would say that it's just a bike or that it doesn't matter if someone had left it there, but in all actuality it does matter. No bike deserves to be left out and forgotten.
