The dewdrops on the grass glistened in the morning light. A slight breeze rustles the branches of the trees. The green hill against the baby blue sky was a splendor: the scene was pure bliss. Amidst that perfect scene‚ a boy sits by the fence‚ his gray uniform making him protrude from the scene. He stares off into the distance‚ contemplating. He could‚ for one‚ run off and escape.
