The young teen self-defiantly took life by the reigns and decided to steer it in his own direction for once, and not ever, for lack of pride, looking back. Unfortunately this resulted in his current situation; Cold, starving, and oh so tired. He had not much energy to do anything else rather than to just sit there in his cardboard box next to an old tavern and piles of frosted trash. Daniel knew that he was as good as dead, and slowly, oh so slowly he came to terms with the inevitable.
Daniel James Howell was going to die."
