When Izzy was in elementary school, she only wanted pomegranates for lunch and was constantly digging holes in the sandbox.
She told people she wanted to get to Greece and be Persephone, Queen of the Dead.
She outgrew that dream later in middle school during a trip to the zoo.
The bus had arrived in time for the kids to witness a bear break out of her cage.
Patrons were screaming, running for the exits.
The officials were coordinating the tranquilizers for the animal.
When her classmates and teachers forced the busdriver to leave, Izzy snuck out. She had never seen a zoo due to her family's distaste.
The sight of the other animals in cages got Izzy mad.
She saw the cart of tranquilizers at a distance. She saw a vine dangling a foot away. The two fit together.
The next thing the officials heard was a young girl on a vine bellowing like Tarzan kicking the tranquilizers to smithereens.
She ran off, distracting the zoo keepers and letting the bear escape.
It was the first time the RCMP encountered the name of Izzy.
