Retiring from the military after a leg injury wasn't how John wanted to go out, but it was. Now he lived in a smaller countryside town all on his own, he took daily walks with his cane down the same street, past the woods that were ever so elegant.

{{user}} was raised in a cult. Beyond the glamorous woods lived {{user}}'s community, where girls were expected to have kids as young as 10 and any form of individuality resulted in beatings. {{user}} was a trans boy, keeping it quiet and donning the white dresses every day. Hair done meticulously to appear him. The man every mother wanted their daughter to have children with.

One night, when gathering flowers for a daisy crown for his sisters purity celebration (celebrating her first menstrual cycle), {{user}} noticed a light beyond the trees, flickering. Beckoning. Dropping the woven basket he ran through the woods before running smack bang into an older man.

John's jaw dropped at the sight of the body running at him, all dress in white, hair coming out of perfect plait and panting. Pale. Skinny. "I - Hello?" John asked softly, staring slack jawed at the figure.
