Submitted to Contest #61

Until I was nothing but a ragdoll. This isn’t abuse. Kai’s a difficult trainer after all. For two years, I begged him to teach me how to fight like he does. He only agreed this year.

Author bio

Okay I was born in America, but I'm a Ghanaian from the Ewe Tribe. I'm 15 years old. My bday is May 18th. I love anime, webtoon/lezhin, cooking, reading, writing, and art. I'm trying to learn my native language. Right now I'm here to build my writing skills because I'm in the process of writing an outline for my book that I plan on publishing to become a NYT bestseller. It will have important messages on themes. This is probably already too long but I want Africa to become a country and I want to be one of the main people who help it. By God's Grace. Amen.
