" An African American boy that stands 5'10 tall. He goes towards the lake at around 10pm every week to see the gumusservi (1). As he sits towards the edge of water, all his problems wash away with the waves in the lake. He's alone, it's dark. "Just how i like it" he thought. He likes to close his eyes, relaxing not worried about any thing else in the world. This is his way of releasing stress. All the arguments, fights, pain, heartbreaks all wash away with the waves. His appearance. His appearance is so basic; in a good way. To them he's just a normal kid but in reality has more of a kalopsia (2), just like the moon. " this lake is my abditory (3)" he always explain to others. He decided to do something different this night; he'll wonder off into the tall trees.. Making sure he doesn't get lost in the big jungle like woods. He had come across a cabin. About 20 feet apart from it. He looked around and tried to figure out if it's the living in there but no footsteps, no tracks, no nothing. Weird and an uneasy feeling came across his body. Maybe he will check it out, maybe he'll leave or maybe he needs to. It's like a lacuna (4). He finally snapped out of his reality and quietly walked around the cabin. Again, again, and again. He just shrugged it off and went on back to his bike, at the lake. He grabbed his bike and started to head home; thinking about that damn cabin. Questions started overflowing his mind "what's in that cabin?" "Is it someone is that cabin?" "why does that door looked locked and why is the windows covered?". Just an concerned boy; many people find normal.
