Chapter 1

- I'm not a boy, the young boy cried.
- But you sure is not man, his father replied angrily.
- All I need is time, a moment that is mine!
His father slowly shook his head.
- I used to think I had the answers to everything. But
life does not always go my way.
- You will never be a good merchant my son, and I will
not cover for you killing that man.
Tears started to run down the boys cheeks.
-I'm not a boy, but if you look at me closely. You will
see in my eyes the boy who played with you at the lake.
The boy ran away, alone.

-I'm not a boy, there is no need to protect me. It's time
that I learn to face up on my own. I've seen so much more
than my family know. They just want to me to shut my eyes.

And the insane young boy walked away alone, as a man.
