Holy shit. Growing up in a super small border town between Texas and Mexico, I've seen, heard, and been part of some crazy and terrifying stuff, but nothing compares to this. I felt terrified just imagining what you went through. Obligatory glad you made it out, but seriously- had any one thing gone wrong, who knows what could have happened in the end. I used to sit and wonder about the future. As in how wonderful it will be and what amazing things we will accomplish. I used to fear dying because I wouldn't get to see any of it, much less the end of the story. Somewhere along the way I began to fear the future, to the point I didn't want to have children, I felt it unethical to knowingly bring an innocent life into that kind of terror. Professor Farnsworth said it best- 'I don't want to live on this planet anymore.' Edited to add- when I was young I caught wanderlust pretty hard and traveled most of the US, some of Mexico and Canada. I dreamt of visiting other countries and continents and was hugely disappointed to not find a way before having a family and obligations. All that went out the window about the time I started watching Locked Up Abroad. Brokedown Palace had nothing on those stories.
