What If?

Do you swear?

In this book I will write the truth. I will not lie to you. There have been enough lies and it's time that it stopped, it's time for the truth to come out. This book is not cute or romantic, although it is a love story. This is the gruesome tale of a boy who lived, and a boy who survived. Of war and bloodshed. I will not dumb it down for you, nor will I repeat myself. So make yourselves comfortable and do try to keep up. Because if you miss even a tiny detail you will be lost and so shall our characters, if that is what you wish to call them. I will not call them heroes because I don't believe that anyone truly is. A hero. An over rated title in my opinion. So, before I begin I ask of you, what is a hero? 

Have your answer? Throughout the story I want you to see if it fits to any of our characters. 

Now I need you to swear. Swear to leave the plot and personalities of this story untouched and unexaggerated. It will be told once by me and you must believe it all. 

So do you swear? 

Good. 

Read on, but I warn you, I will not tone down my descriptions of the violent happenings of this truth for younger audiences. It may give you nightmares. I know I had them. I'll leave you to flip the page and begin, if you think you are ready to know the truth and believe it. You are? Then you are one of the few who are brave enough. Brave enough to seek the truth and not fear it. Flip the page, and do not stop until I've finished.
