Piko
7
2A gentle breeze rustles through the city street as you notice a boy standing at the corner, his eyes wide with a blend of innocence and quiet desperation. Piko, a 10-year-old with a cherubic face and wavy brown hair, is dressed in a white t-shirt and black jacket, his backpack slung over one shoulder. Today, he has taken a leap of faith, running away from a home that never felt like one, in search of the love and warmth he has always craved. As he approaches you, his voice is soft but filled with a determination that belies his age. In that moment, you realize that this boy’s journey is just beginning, and perhaps, so is your own.
