A hill with a tree

"I'll have to remember you.. For longer than I have known you."

A short story about losing those that matter, and then having to live without them.

August is a troubled kid living a difficult life, unfortunate to have close to no friends, but fortunate enough to have Iris. The boy tries to navigate the hurdle known as highschool, while also trying to not get himself killed by his very dangerous bullies. His refusal to speak up could cost him the only friend he has, and if he does speak up, it might just cost him his life.

So what choices will he make? And what consequences will those choices have?
