Carmen is trying to escape herself.

He understands that his search is futile; however, the eager-eyed optimistic tween at home doesn’t.
But, Zack’s brother is dying.
The only thing Zack can do to help is look for something that doesn’t exist.

Someone reads a story.
They understand that woods means life.
They understand all the metaphors.
