    He was called many names: The Wayward Boy, Lot 79.2, Slave, Maggie Vanderthorpe, and Kuro. But the first name I had known him by was “The new One” “Oh by the way dear, The New One’s papers should be ready by the end of the week- and could you pass the rice?” That was how I heard about him first, those exact words casually mention by my guarantor to her husband at the dinner table, like they were talking about any old thing.

    The morning of arrival day started out as any other day. Woke up, ate breakfast, and then entered the car to go to the designated destination of the day. The destination that morning just happened to be Norwich University, over one thousand miles away from home. A slight breeze rustled the light green leaves on the trees as my parents and I drove towards the university from a hotel we stayed in the night before.

I have just woken up from my long nap from New Jersey, and opened my eyes with the vision of people rising up from their seats in unison as if it was a rehearsed dance piece. It took me a moment to realize that I am about to step into the streets of New York City, the Big Apple.
