_Somewhere between staying and leaving, I learned who _I was.

_…when I realized the key fell out of my pocket, if course I was flabbergasted. 
I knew I shouldn’t discuss where I found the key. I mean telling anyone where I 
had been would’ve gotten me in trouble. Somewhere between staying and leaving, the
loft, I learned who I was that day: a rotten child who did things I wasn’t supposed
to. I felt like this was the reason I injured myself. Somehow, I needed to find 
a way to redeem myself. All this was going through my head as I was being loaded
in the emergency vehicle. I was picked up by my grandparents at the hospital and
taken to their house. That is when I noticed him. The guy who worked the family 
farm for us was tending the crops but had stopped his work and threw a piece of 
paper out of the tractor window. I was a curious kid so of course I walked the field
over to find it. He left behind a note with only three words, “just survive somehow.”
I stood there dumbfounded and wondered what that meant. I tucked the paper in my
sock hoping it would stay there. At least the paper was hidden until got home and
I was safely in my room. The thing was the town was experiencing the disappearance
of many of the residents. Evidence of alien abduction was left in notes but none
of them were goodbye notes. All the town had to go on was the notes left in various
places that had three words. Just survive somehow. The thing was we were changing.
The residents of my town were changing._
