This short story was such a beautiful surprise. A young teen sits at the edge of a swamp. Bullied, misunderstood, and unable to endure it anymore, he wants to run from it all. A old man on a boat paddles up him, starting him on his journey.The prose is spotless. The pacing is perfect. The emotions are real. The details are rich in symbolism. The dialog is profound to the point of being enlightening. I've never been so moved by a story so short. It's perfect.
