I stared at this man, this boy, laying five feet away from me, his body slumped on the ground. I didn't know what to do, what was best, but I knew I couldn't leave him out here, with the sun almost set, the wolves and the cats would be out soon. So I decided I'd do what was right by locking him in the green room and take it from there.

I didn't think that this would be such a big deal, except for the fact that he was probably over six foot, and I was 5'7" and small for my height. I tried to roll him over and drag him up, but I kept getting the impression I was hurting him more. I figured I should just pick him up and carry him, which might I say, was hard as hell. Somehow though, I managed to carry him those awful ten feet to the back door. I dragged myself to carry him just those few more feet to the sofa in the green room.

After I set him down though, I didn't know what to do. I sat there looking at his slump body, and noticed for the first time the long thin scar that ran from under his hair line down under his shirt. But what I really noticed, was how young he looked. He looked like he was my age, and it was the first time in months I had seen anyone as young as I was.

I knew he needed help, and I knew what I had to do.
