“‘Lord of the Flies’”
I didn’t even tell anyone where I was going...just went.
My childhood was spent in inner-city Milwaukeestan! Amazingly, there were still some ‘green spaces’ back then and those were what all of us kids were drawn to. Climbing trees, building forts, etc.
And no one died and no one was abducted by weirdos and our parents didn’t tell us NOT to. ;)
