I picked up a strange phone call and was told to run. Not knowing who exactly I was running from, I followed orders form the voice on the phone. I was led though a series of alleys and empty rooms to pick up keys. I eventually got my hands on a brown envelope and inside was a handful of forged documents. I needed to get out of the country. I made a brief stop at my house, thinking that maybe I could pack my things before daytime. Unfortunately, people in the house were already waking up. I decided to forgo packing and depart without anything more than what I had brought out in my backpack the night before.

I was eating breakfast when I was told that my cousins were waiting for me downstairs to say farewell.
