"This is your story."

----------------------------------------
In my old age I came across a young man that reminded me of myself. Reminded me of the gang that I used to run with. Those that never settled for any rule that did not suit them. Those that made the system change to meet their needs.
I told that child with bright eyes a story of my youth. I told him of how I grew up and became the man that I am today. After some time had passed he brought some of his friends to meet me and hear my story's. They brought their friends and siblings and from there we were off.
It quickly became that the bench that we first met by was not big enough for us so we move to a tree that was planted so long ago to remember times of great sorrow. I started bringing food for you woung people and tried to make your days by showing you what the rest of the world ate.
And while I showed you the world you rekindled my old flame and inspired me to fight through another decade if the chance is given.
That was the beginning of your story and now it is up to you to write a worthy ending.
In five days time I shall board a ship that will take be to places even devils fear to tread. I shall be going on my final voyage and if I return we shall meet here under this tree in 10 years time from today. Is that understood?
