The Fall of a Lifetime

I don’t have a lot of friends. Actually, I don’t even need a second hand to count them. I was always different, even a weirdo. Not everyone wants to know complicated people, and I am the worst.

Sadder was learning that we only needed to catch two buses and one train to get where we came from — instead of walking for life!
