At a young age Onika was like a wildflower pushing through the concrete. Somehow the sky was the limit, even when the sky turned gray in between. Her pockets were full of maybes, always believing there had to be something bigger waiting for her on the other side. But the streets had a funny way of teaching lessons before she was even ready to learn them. They spoke in sirens, whispers, and late night conversations, showing her things no child should have to understand.
