The Reluctant Writer
I was ten years old. My mother and stepfather had separated and my mother had moved my brother and me into an apartment complex on the other side of town. The small two-bedroom apartment we moved into was nothing like the spacious townhouse we left.

Katia shivered as she crawled. Although she was unfamiliar with where she was, the air was chilly, and the dampness of the sand she crawled on only intensified the cold. Still, she decided to continue to move in order to keep warm, through the narrow darkness, not concerning herself with what little creatures or potential dangers she could encounter.
