Once upon a time, long ago in 2011, there was a little "100 Theme Challenge" made up by a user called HarvestMoonAddict. The idea was 100 short stories made up of 100 words each. Every chapter focused on the set topic of a single pre-selected word. While I'm sure that challenge died out maaaaaaany moons ago, my dedication to this random story and my love of Nami has never faded. So of course this tale focuses on lovely Nami herself, who is featured in AWL, HM:DS, HM:DS Cute, and MM! I hope you stick around and enjoy~
Note: This story is based in AWL and covers Nami's first three years in the Valley. I have made a couple changes to AWL canon though, such as there being 30 days in a season instead of 10, Jack having already arrived on his farm, and other small details. Hope you don't mind!

- introduction
All that existed was the dirt path, the wide sky, and the horizon somewhere in between. It was the third day on the road, the third day without rest. She could feel her ribs through her thin shirt when she pressed a shaky palm against them. Her sunburned neck was as red as her hair.
She thought for a second of home. A moment wasted on memories of her family saying she'd never make it alone.
Of course, it was then a speck appeared on the horizon. A promise of hope. Nami smirked.
She had always been lucky like that.
