I stood there in the cold, misty light. When all of a sudden, he emerged. “Theo…i-is that you.” I stuttered as a breezy mist followed my words. I glance around the empty corner. “It’s all a dream, Lina.” I whispered to myself in an effort to help soothe my nerves. You may be wondering what in the world is going on here! Allow me to take you back. Six Months In The Past…
Allow me to introduce myself my name is Lina. Lina Keller. I am 23 years old & have what most people call a perfect, successful & happy life. My life is full of cameras & DRAMA. At least, that’s what I wish I could say. My life is everything but what was just described to you. I have what most people call the life of a poor undocumented immigrant. Ever since I was a young child, I have dreamed of coming to America. Legally. Just for the record. I dreamed of becoming a famous actress and being on big screens across the globe. Part of that dream slightly came true when, at age 17, my mother had told me the news we were moving to America. I was ecstatic of course. But, the happiness slowly drained out of my body when me and my mother had pratically ran across the Swiss border. My mother had not explained to me why we were fleeing my home country. Turns out my crazy ex, Theo, had threatened my mother. So, my mother decided to flee the country without Theo knowing. Basically, it was months of hiding, driving in cars and plane rides. You are probably wondering what’s Theo’s deal and why is he so crazy. Well, that is a story for another time. By the time we had arrived in America, I was 19 years old. I have been here for 4 years now. I have a part-time job working at a diner and a full time job working as a writing teacher for a middle-school. I love my job although it isn’t at all what i wished to do. As you can recall, I wanted to be an actress. But, considering i’m an undocumented immigrant, I decided not to pursue that dream just to be safe. Oh, I think I forgot to mention, I am wanted in 3 countries. I managed to save up some money to get a small apartment for me and my mom. Now that you’re all caught up, let me speed you up a bit.
