Trashbags At seven he had already moved more times than the total number of years he had been on this Earth And this time, like the times before it, he moved with his belongings in a trashbag. Stolen clothes, stolen belongings. A suitcase, at least, would have added a small degree of dignity, and confidence to the whole affair - to being "placed" in another and another and yet another foster home before reaching 3rd grade Trash Bags break,  you know Trash Bags can't possibly support the contents of any life, and certainly not a life as fragile as this
