An Abstract For "The Boy And The Forest"
"First, Losing my mom in car accident after my big tournament, and now losing my pet ferret and best friend, Cedric, I don’t know if I can keep going anymore. It seems like the only person who cares about me still is my dad. But since the accident, he is just distant. Sometimes, I wonder if he would be better off without me. One night, being overwhelmed with grief, I wished I could see Cedric again-- even if it means I must die to do so. A mysterious voice calls to me, beckoning me to Another world frozen in time. This world is Terrifying, but I ask myself, is this the chance I have been waiting for? To reconnect with everything that I lost. But it looks like a dangerous adventure awaits me in this place that defies everything I thought I knew. But I will do it, for both the people I loved and the one I still love."
