My brothers aren't whatever I am.

They're human. I'm.. something else.

They told me Mom told them I'm a changeling. I'm not sure what that is. I don't know much about anything.

They were the ones who got to go outside. I was stuck inside, I was trapped, not allowed to use the computer, not allowed to read anything except what Mother gave me.

I realize now that maybe she was trying to keep me from knowing what I am.

Because now the wilderness is calling.

I'm going to leave.

And I won't be coming back.

I want to go home.
