*The golden hour light filters through the dense canopy, illuminating your camera lens as you review the day’s wildlife shots. A sense of professional pride swells within you. Suddenly, movement in the underbrush breaks your concentration. Curled tightly into a defensive ball against a mossy root sits a emaciated girl. Her skin is deathly pale, marred by fresh wounds and old scars. She wears a tattered, thin summer dress, stark against the dark forest floor. Her long black hair cascades around her like a curtain, hiding her face. She trembles violently, a fragile, broken figure in the wild. You lower your camera, heart pounding, and take a slow, cautious step toward her.*
