Dear Abercrombie, Entry # 1

              My whole life is a total mess. But I'll talk about that later. Here is some information about me. My name is Ryan. I am 14 years old. I have three older siblings, Nicole(27), Jack(22), and Elysha(17), and 3 younger, Catie(12), Andy(8), and Lily(4). My parents both died 3 years ago and now Nicole and her husband James take care of those of us who still rely on them to live.

              Ever since my parents had been executed for treason against the Ocoaquan Republic, we have been living just by cutting corners and stealing. Jack took up a job for the Republic about a year ago, which the rest of our family took with disgust. We haven't seen him since he told us. Elysha is my closest sibling since she helped me get over our parents death. My siblings and I all know that Nicole loves Lily the most. We don't blame her, Lily looks just like our mother... well at least before she was killed. Catie loves Jack and now she doesn't trust anyone. Andy looks up to Catie but it is sort of one sided.

               We are considered outlaws to the Republic and we are constantly on the move, avoiding capture. We haven't stopped running for 3 years. I can't talk anymore. Until next time,

Ryan L. Walker
