WRITTEN BY LIAM BIRMINGHAM
"I ran away from [the] Bisie mine during a massacre. But I didn't achieve my dream — so now I came back home to finish school." Chance ran away from the mine because the miners didn’t fill their quota for the year and the rebels controlling the mine started killing at random. Chance was lucky because he survived this due to being away from the mine at the time of the killing. After this he felt he could never return and has gone back to live with his family, where he will hopefully live his life free of the mines and the death they cause.
