AUGUST 23RD, 1994

The beating hot, summer atmosphere is suffocating in this area of the woods, the brightly lit greenery surrounds your family. The occasional squirrel or chipmunk pauses in the background, only momentarily before escaping your sight. The family picnic is today! You walk happily along the trail, your hand in your mothers, followed by your dad and your brother moving side by side in front of you.

Looking up at your mom, she's so pretty. Your young eyes focus on her features, her short, curly, dark hair sits perfectly on her.

"Mom!" You cry out excitedly, escaping her grip for just a mere moment.

You don't waste any time, your little feet pound the dirt at a near rapid pace. Yeah, you found the perfect spot just now.

Mom sighs, "aren't you a little too young to be this competitive, Alex?" She asks, before giving your head a rub. You laugh in response, you love going out with your family on these days, school is nearly about to start, summer is almost over, your first year of school at Rickmond Public Elementary school is about to begin. You shyly and secretly vow to yourself you're going to have the most fun on this trip in the world!

Some time passes, the sun narrows on the horizon. Your older brother and dad have done most of the work on setting up camp, your mom spends her time keeping her eye on you as they work away during this time.

He's a sight to behold, your brother is much older than you are, he has such a broad stature. His physique is comparable to one of the superheroes from your books! Your father puts his hand on his shoulder and an appreciative nod.

"Thanks for making this old man have to work," your dad jokingly says to him.

Your brother, James, shakes his head. Mom and dad tell you he's quieter and more isolated than he once was because he's started something called 'Poo-berty' the name makes you giggle a little.

"There's my little monster!" Your dad yells and points at you, causing you to scream! You run in opposite direction of him. This is it.. a true test of your speed!
