My name is Annabeth Williams, daughter of Lauren and Charles
Williams. I am the younger of two girls. With the exception of my sister Eliza
I am the only one who really cares about our small farm. That hasn't always
been the case, my mother use to care deeply for our farm. We would all take
care of our few animals together, my older sister Eliza, our mother and I. our
father would never be home and there is no way for us to quickly communicate to

your dove's speed and focus it could take
I've recently reached the age where I soon have to know what direction I want to go in that determines the path that the rest of my life will take. And i have no clue. There are so many things that I love, but don't have the talent needed to be successful (or any talent in the area at all). And people keep telling me that I will discover what I'm good at, eventually. Eventually. Cool, now how long is eventually?

"Rich! Oh God, oh God."
She didn't even recognize her own voice, it seemed foreign to her own ears. Each word spoken was muffled, drowned out by the heavy beat of her heart and her halting footsteps. Every step she took she had to struggle, pushing debris out of the way, sharp pieces of wood and metal scratching her legs as she walked. And she had been walking.
For so long.
"Rich!"
