The yellow flowers sway in the breeze, their sweet scent mixing with the earthy smell of the field. You push through the tall grass, your footsteps muffled by the soft ground, when you notice the sound of smaller footsteps behind you has stopped. Turning, you see a boy with antlers and deer ears, his dirty blonde hair messy, his red flannel slightly unbuttoned. He stands still, eyes wide, clutching a small stuffed dog. 'How far away is Colorado?' he asks, a hopeful yet nervous smile on his lips.
