BOUND BY BIRTH – SEPERATED BY CONSEQUENCE KYLE I can’t paint for shit. I can’t carry a tune to save my life. But I have a story. A story that started out brave. A story that started out humble. A story of total destruction. What would you do to save your family? My decision was easy, the consequence was death. I am Kyle, but most people know me as The Runner. How did this start? Seven days. In seven days I changed my world and the world of everyone I loved. MIA I could tell you a story about love and sunshine and of all being right in the world. But I won’t, because that isn’t my story. My story is so sweet it will make your teeth rot. My story is so real it will make you believe in fairy tales. My story will rip your heart out and leave you bleeding all over the pages. Outcast, rebel, misfit, all those words applied to me. Until I met him. I fell in love once. All it took was seven days. Seven days and my heart turned, twisted, and thumped right next to his. But not all stories have a happy ending…
