    About this ebook

    This novella acts as the prequel to the full-length novel, Take Me Far Away.

    "Be strong," they said. "You're a lucky guy," they said. 
    Lucky? Lucky?! Clearly, they were the crazy ones.

    I think even in my life before, I was always a little messed up in the head. A little too sad when I didn't have reason to be. A little too amped up for a fight that didn't need to happen. An all-round screw-up . . . That was me.

    •         •         •

    Pain used to be a distant word in Ryan Locke's vocabulary, but like everything else that's far away, it found a way to get closer. Without warning, an unforeseeable tragedy shattered everything he once believed in.

    Everyone has a beginning. This is Ryan's.
