About the Author

I wrote this story as I was going through months of unemployment, and desperately wanted to persevere through the toughest time of my life. I was becoming a writer and I had a lot of doubt from others, and I’m ashamed to admit even myself. So, I wanted to craft a character in a situation where he has an almost seemingly impossible goal, that others have all tried and failed at, but he perseveres through. Not out of arbitrary cockiness, but sheer faith and belief in himself, because that little boy is me and that mountain is my goal.
