A true traveler knows that all roads, no matter how familiar, all lead to the same place.
That's what makes picking the path to take so much easier. The end result will always be the same.
But still, I never thought I'd reach the end of the road so fast.
I chose the path I chose because I thought it was longer.
But the end of my little joyride had led me back to where it always did.
To the two people that reminded me of why I left Mabase in the first place.
Little brother, now is just not the time….
But it wasn't his fault. He wanted to escape, too.
I couldn't help but wonder how Dad and Grandpa felt about having two of their boys turn out to be cowards.
Pushing those thoughts out of my mind, I greeted them both the same way I always did.
"So, what do you want now?"
