Odera: An Orphan’s Tale
by Nkem DenChukwu

My big brother, Eto, is 26. Me, I am 15 years old. He and I love to explore; and each day is a brand new adventure for us. We loved running through the woods and going to that part of the woods where "The Forbidden Lake" is located. Every time we would go to the Lake, it always felt like the very first time we discovered it.
