As Lost Boys Do

I'd once read a book with mother - A cunning tale of soldiers that invaded Rome with warfare of the mind.

While father told me that manipulation was a woman's game, mother simply said words that stuck, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Now, I won't use that as much of an excuse as to why I'm sat in a giant bed, indian paint on my face and a pirates treasure by my side while surrounded by boys expecting to hear more exciting tales than the one we just barely survived.

Mother was right, I would do as they did.

I will do as the Lost Boys do.
