From The Holler

When I was little, my only dream was to live with my parents forever; however, it didn’t take long before I built my first raft in a desperate bid to escape. Somewhere along the way, I heard “All water leads to the sea.”  One time, my dad had brought home a large piece of styrofoam from the lake, and I prayed it would float me to the ocean as I desperately wanted out of Cruso. Unfortunately, my raft never floated, and by the time I was fifteen, I attempted to run away for the first and last time.
