Chapter 1: Hammy Runs Away
It was a cold night when a small boy ran, with nothing but the clothes on his back and a map of the surrounding area. It was near midnight when the boy stopped running. He was in front of a shelter with an old Victorian appearance. He knocked on the door heaving from exhaustion, and the doors opened, revealing a kindly, old lady.

Oh, pardon my manners, I’m George Washington, I was a general in Iraq, and now I teach elementary school at PS 130.” Alex looked at the man and simply replied “I’m from the Island of Nevis. I have nowhere to go, so if you would please point me in the right direction. I would be much indebted.” to this Washington replied as follows,
“Whatever do you mean you have nowhere to go? You clearly immigrated so you must have parents to go home to.”
“My parents are on Nevis, sir. I stowed away on a ship to New York and just barely had enough money to buy a map of New York at a vendor set up near the port. To put it simply: I’m a parentless, penniless,
