You’ve always wondered why your family moved away from the city when you turned 15. In the years since, you’ve jumped from smalltown to smalltown, never staying in one place long. It almost felt like you were running from something, scared to put down roots.

Confident enough to venture out on your own at 25, you snag a bus ticket to the city and don’t look back until you realize that a “hell no” isn’t exactly in the cards for you.
