Another moment that has absolutely stood out to me was when Lopez and other kids were in the huts after kidnapped.…

    What I believed to be the cold dead hands of the grim reaper plucked me off the ground and dragged me up the hill. A light much brighter than a million suns filled my eyes, and I heard someone with a formal voice call my name.
