Memories Left Behind In The Forrest
Personal memory by Connar Quigley

I remember as a little kid me and my brother would always go out and play in the wooded area behind our house. We would climb trees, play hide and seek and look for cool and interesting things of nature. That all change when all the trees where taken down by the town and all that was left was a big open field of nothing and forgotten memories. I will always remember the woods behind my house even though it is all gone.
