The Leader Of Queens: Rewrite

"I never forgot you."

"Neither did I."

Friend.

Many people spend their entire lives searching for that.

A friend.

Someone to share their life to, to tell every secret, every lie, every blessing, every curse.

To have a friend, is one of the greatest gifts of the world.

One that once upon a time, Racetrack Higgins had that.

Once upon a time, Anastasia Redwood had that too.

Until, one day changed it all.

The word, once so understood, so familiar became foreign, and forgotten until...

The Newsboy Strike of 1899...

Welcome, to LOQ, take two. Filled to the brim with angst, adventure, and love.

"mostly love but y'know, tHe OtHeR sTuFf tOo."
