How long have you been outside? Four weeks.

Where are you from originally? Alabama, then Tennessee..

Do you have family looking out for you? "I have a twin brother, Jacob and other family. “Are you Christian?” he asks. “No, just another fellow human”, I say.

I used to work in plumbing and heating. They still owe me some money.

What do you want this community to know about you? I want them to know that I am real.

Where do you sleep? Right here.

Do you have a superpower? He smiles. I wish I did. I’m good with nature. Hunting and fishing.

After a long pause. I’d be a storm. It’s the most powerful thing on earth.

What would the storm do? It would protect me.
