Evelyn Johnson

A name that held so much power, but yet none at all. The name that was so easily replaced in every news paper article and award and medal. It was never in front of anyone else's name, always put second, or behind the others.

Evelyn never stayed put for long enough, never waiting around for those awards, knowing her name was switched out or below. She never did a sport for longer than a season, always doing something different the next season, knowing that it will be different again the next year.

"My entire life has been revolved around knowing that next year could be different, but it never is

Having two older brothers and an older sister doesn't help this matter at all. Always compared and left out, as there was a larger gap between them, she doesn't know how to fit in. It has never been her thing. Only there to do what she had and nothing more.

That was the life of Evelyn Johnson, the shadow that never stayed in one place for longer than a year.

"My parents lived by the concept of if you weren't excellent, beating everyone at something, then what was the use of putting your heart and soul into it? But for me? It felt like everything was different. They didn't ever want me doing what had been done by my siblings, just to show how bad I could be, or how good my siblings were"
