week 12 blog 1: Can You Do This?


I’ve never had to sleep under the stars. I’ve never journeyed this far before. In this place, nature was my friend and enemy.
 The land could provide you with both blessings and curses. I knew this from the stories my granddad told me.
 I look over at my sleeping companion, a boy named Eagle. We both want freedom. We both want a new life.
 I sighed as the sun rose in the sky. I carried Eagle for many more miles. Once I stopped, I wanted to scream with joy.
 “We are home,” I nickered to Eagle. Mustang and Indian were free.
