"An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind."
~Mahatma Gandhi


Birds chirping.
Fish swimming.
Me walking.

Along the boardwalk through the magical forest,
I feel it wrapping me with its warmth of the sunlight,
My classmates are snapping photos of the tall perfectly placed trees in the wet swamp

The smell of leaves and trees surround me.
The smell is vibrant and bold and a lot compared to Wayland
Hundreds of mosquitoes have a feast on the thirty-nine students.
