Carefree || JJ Maybank

Every summer is a story. That's what some poetic people say. Each second is a letter, each minute is a word. Every day, a new page is written.

But, for the Pogues, this summer was more than just a story. It was a novel. Lives changed every time they blinked their formally innocent eyes.

When kids are little, treasure hunts are for pirates. But for Everleigh and her twin brother John B, treasure hunts were the reason their dad would avoid telling them anything. Treasure hunts were an excuse to disappear for days at a time. And treasure hunts, were the escape from the inconsistent life of living on The Cut.

Bets are made, hands are thrown, and lives are constantly at risk during the hunt of a lifetime.

They thought their life of being carefree was over. But to them, being carefree was just a mindset, and if you could handle the pressure... there was no turning back.
