I wake up to the train wheels grinding against the track, man it's too early..but hey, girls gotta hitch a ride somehow right? Now why the hell am I telling you this? Well, this is a journal thing I'm doing. Figured I should start one, n'case I die out here. I'm Ryder, Ryder Jackson. I'm 13, and I have no idea how I exist, maybe I got someone out there, I really don't know. My brother never told me anything. He was always gone anyways, he tried. He tried to care for me and my younger brothers. But he got arrested from what I know. The younger ones were taken, put into some adoption thing. I don't know. I didn't want to go anywhere I didn't want to, so I ran off, somewhere, I got on some train and that was it, I was on my own. I came from New York, not the worst side but definitely not the good side, if New York even has a good side.

A sign just passed, saying, "Tulsa Oklahoma, in 10 Miles" Tulsa.. I thought hey that's where that kid who killed someone came from! Janey? No- Ronny? And the other one..Ponyboy??
Now that name I could remember. The whole story somehow got to our state, and man was in twisted, two innocent seeming kids, murdered some Soc, ran away, became heroes by getting kids out of a fire with some other guy..Dallas? I think. It was a good read though. I can only wonder though, what if I meet them? That'd be weird. I'm gonna catch some Z's for now though, I guess Tulsa Oklahoma is my next stop. -RJ
