Life in the annex is difficult; I had to live in constant terror of being discovered. However, when I was finally outside and absolutely free, everything changed. I can see the sky and breathe in the fresh air once more. I have the option of roaming freely and taking in whatever I observe. My friends truly made me happy, and I was looking forward to seeing them and spending meaningful time with them once more. In the winter, we could go ice skating or do any other exciting activities. Bike riding was another hobby that I had missed, and I was now able to enjoy it once more. Now I am free from my awful past.
