They say you can never go back…
‘Course, I never wanted to return. It took me years to age out. Once I made it, I took off and never turned around.
Trust me, there were only three reasons I managed to survive there as long as I did and they abandoned me as soon as they were able. I’d like to say I didn’t blame them, but that would be a lie.
I had zero desire to return. Yet here I was, on the road to Northland chasing a story cause my editor told me kids were disappearing… again.
It doesn’t matter what I want, I’m taking the fastest route to the darkest part of my past.
And then I’ll be home…
