Once upon a time… No that's a terrible way start this story. That would make you think it was a fairy tale. Though this does have the elements of a fairy tale; Magic, gods, monsters, adventure but as we all know fairy tales are completely make believe. My story however is completely true. Though you probably won't think so but believe me when I say it all is.
So how should one start a story like this? Well I suppose one should start at the beginning. It's about a young boy named Ryan, me. It all began when I was fifteen years old, right around when Spring was changing into Summer. I was living with my father, Jeremiah, in the middle of nowhere, in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. For all my life it had just been my father and I living off the land in the wilderness. He home schooled me since as long as I could remember. Town wasn't ever too far away; Dad had a job as a handyman/contractor and that paid the bills and got us anything we needed.
It was a solitary life but that life was great for me. I had tried going to public school but that didn't turn out well. For one I couldn't read well and I couldn't sit still the entire time. The town doc diagnosed me with dyslexia and ADHD. The school just treated me like a problem that if they ignored it would just go away. So my dad took me out and wet through the process of homeschooling me.
So that how my life progressed. Just us fishing, hiking, building, and my most enjoyable hobby, hunting. My father raised me to hunt and to appreciate the meaning of hunting. To not kill senselessly. That was the most important thing he taught me ever. He always said it was in my blood.
But anyway, that's enough about my childhood. You came for a daring tale so that is what I should be giving. I remember as if no time had passed at all…
