It is so hard to survive when you have no allies, no resources. You do an excellent job of showing us the challenges that face this young person.
Hope you are well, @mrnightmare. It is good to see you writing. See if you can fix that formatting issue. It will make your story more readable. Still very good, though.
Sorry, I used a symbol I wasn't familiar, "~~~~~~", and it ended up like that. I'm doing good, thanks even though this time it's health issues. Life always challenges when we are trying hard.
