Currently rewriting the first chapter of 'A Journey to Safety". It's been over a year since the original chapter was written, and another year since the Character Information was posted. I feel like my writing has gotten a bit better, so I hope you enjoy this sample I'm sharing below.

All they ever do is fight. ‘Oh, my childhood was shit so I’m going to make yours a living hell.’” I said mockingly. I sat down on the floor and laid my head in my hands.
