Small, Bare feet ran through the forest dirt. The little girl jumped over a tree branch then ducked and rolled under another. She was relieved to find a hole in a tree where she jumped inside of and cramped herself. The police officers and the hounds jumped over her head, falling over each other. “Where is she?” Yelled the chief.“Chief, it’s useless. She’s just a little girl.

“That’s the thing about this city.” Two Years Earlier Andrew Maye smiled as he stared out of the bus window at every attraction that the city of Fantasy had to offer. The children, treated like adults. The trees, completely naked even though it was Spring. Andrew didn’t see a single frown the whole way to his hotel. Andrew stopped and exhaled calmly in front of his room door when he arrived. A maid helped him unload his bags as she opened the door for him. “This place is amazing,” Andrew said. “How can y’all live here? This is such...

He prepared himself for work and headed downstairs to the kitchen. “Good morning, Danny,” His mom said as he walked past her as she was sitting at the table. “Morning, Mom.” “You’re heading out already, son?” “I have to.
