Boys of the Jungle
BANG! The trunk door slammed closed on his mom’s Honda Civic. The beige car with its rusted wheel wells, and terrible power steering was the only car his mother had ever owned, but this was the fifth home they’d moved into — at least of those that he was old enough to remember. In his hands was the last of the cardboard boxes that held their things. In this particular box was the last of his own belongings: Comics he no longer read, a martial arts uniform for a studio he could no longer attend, old socks. None of these things were particularly heavy for the fourteen-year-old, and yet he found himself struggling to carry the box up the front stairs of the apartment complex.
