// Ricky’s heart sank into his chest as he realized he was completely lost. He was scared, cold, hungry, and lonely. He sat down on the steps of one of the buildings, and wondered if he would ever see his mom and family again. He would miss Christmas and no one would want him and his life would be over. //
Just came across your story. I love this paragraph, it is *so* like a little kid :-)
Thank you. The story may change in some small ways, but I do plan on keeping that part exactly as it is.
Thanks again.
