When I finally got to the safe haven, there was no one. I was completely alone in a desert wasteland. 'What do I do now?' I ask myself. I make up my mind and just do the eight year old thing, follow my gut.
I head to the mountains, which were 50 miles away. Hoping to find more people.
It took me another few days to make my way to the mountains. As always my luck kicks in. I didn't find anyone. All I found was a cave that was still intact. I found place to live.
As an eight year old, I was done with life. I had lost my parents, my brothers, and the whole rest of my family. I hated all of them. They left me all alone to face this world. And grow up early. All I wanted was my family back. I wanted my normal back. But it was not going to happen.
The first thing I did when I got to that cave, I fell on to the ground and cried. Not for my parents, brothers, cousins or aunts. But for me. For leaving my childhood, for now living an adult life. I shouldn't of had to live an adult life. I shouldn't of had to grow up.
