Innocent

Prologue

I lay, silent. I can feel the fresh breeze causing the grass beneath me to brush against my soft skin. I can smell the glorious scent of flowers that are beginning to bloom, the intoxicating aroma lingering in the air. It is Spring. Of the four seasons, it is my favorite. It's been a bit difficult to be aware of the date lately now that I am no longer provided with any sort of technological device. Actually, I am no longer provided with many other things, such as food and shelter. My name is Lennox Reed. I am 16 years old and known as a criminal by anyone and everyone from my past. A season has gone by since the last time I saw my friends and family; that's about 3 months! Being away from them all is killing me from the inside- out. I wish there was a way to get back to them somehow, but that seems more like a distant fairytale dream, rather than a possibility, seeing as how I am thought to be a murderer.
