The Children of Pine Lake
An Introduction
In hindsight, I believe that the explosion may have been a little bit much. Yet we knew it had to be done. So, when the opportunity arrived, we had to take it. Escaping from Pine Lake was not easy. It took the combined effort of 10 children aged 10 to 16 to outwit the so-called smartest people on earth. I’m sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me first tell you who “we” are.
We are a group of genius children, enhanced for the betterment of mankind. How we got here, that’s another story, or several stories.

Random Act of Kindness
In life, we all come to a point where we have to make difficult choices. It may be that neither choice can be called wrong or right.

But I can tell you what little interaction I had with her.
