The walk was even more grueling than I had imagined. The heat of the sun and the built up exhaustion were as good of a mix as water and oil. I've never wanted to see a cloud more in my life. If only for a brief second the sun could be covered I'd swear to do good for the rest of my life. But of course we can't have everything we wish for. The longer we walked the hotter it got I thought I might melt away like a piece of chocolate. After what felt like an eternity in hell we finally made it. I don't think I've ever been more grateful to see a house. We were met by an older gentleman this time. But just like last time we thanked him, ate, and fell asleep. Sleep came like a wave too tired to worry today I let it overcome me. Before I knew it I was once again awoken by my mother but unlike before it took a couple of times to awake. As my eyes continued to open and close in and out of sleep. I didn't fully wake up until we once again started to walk.
Taking a risk his father abandons the gang he was forced into 10 years ago after his brother borrowed money and ran. But now their family must flee their home and cross the border to gain the chance of survival. Otherwise they will most certainly die. Will they be able to make it across? And if they do will they be welcomed?
