Fiction can sometimes present the truth of a situation that would otherwise seem absurd. Sam Osbiston, a first-gen student from Durham University, would like to bring you on a journey of resilience, but there are no guarantees all will end well. A child’s ambition is to dream, and the Luman exams are on the horizon. They determine a person’s future and the possibility of climbing to the next level. First-time experiences are full of the unknown, but with experience comes knowledge that can be passed down. Someone must experience it first; sometimes forces are outside our control. All that we can do is try.
