Dear reader,

I applaud you for picking up this book. Even the strongest man in the county would not have the audacity to do what you have done; it takes true courage. Reading the last sentence you must be thinking, dear reader, that I am lying. That this is merely a ploy to get you to pick up one of those paper stacks that your English teacher is insisting you to read. A dry novel filled with facts and no storyline at all right? Well think again my friend. In this novel, you will not find a dry as the Sahara desert story of geography nor will it be an innocent story of what "the good girl did" or what, "the boy has done." This is purely an account of how hellish this world can truly be, how much chaos can take place in a single minute. A minute might seem very short but let me tell you, in my opinion, if not even from my own experience, one's whole life can be turned upside down in a minute. The truth can become the lies, the dark becomes light and nothing is as it really seems. This story may take longer than a minute but it must be told nonetheless. So, if you haven't put this book down to read a cutesy and innocent one, be prepared to enter a world, my world. To see how in just a mere minute I could lose everything dear to me. To see not only into my soul and its suffering, but into my heart; this very thing that has been through hell.

Sincerely,

Boo
