My name is Katrina, and I'm destined to be a criminal. I was born and raised by criminals, and am the average screw-up. I'm fourteen and am already running from the law.

My first crime was trying to give New Orleans a bath. Now I write story folds on the lam, running from town to town with my criminal carny parents. Did I mention my name's Katrina?

I had a pet fish named Nemo, but 1 morning he was found frozen in his bowl. I also had a cat named Sandy, but she ran away. Writing on the lam has some perks though, like

it was time to take Payback to the fancy grooming salon on King George Street. Thankfully, our fortunes had changed when I discovered an antique gold watch in

the hand of my dad's war buddy. The war buddy had come to my house when I was watching cartoons and told me about my dad who'd died in vietnam and the gold watch that he had

Bought at Dishwalla Jewellers. I have that watch on my wrist now and it still works. Mr. Patel agreed it was worth quite a lot. I had Vietnamese neighbours who shared homemade pho.

It wasn't Pho King pho but it was pretty good pho, for sure. I loved to throw in the lemongrass and jalapenos and sometimes I got so excited I jumped in there with them but I then

took a chiding from Lemongrass for not washing 1st. Yes, in Asia you wash before you bathe. Jalapenos was a hot little pepper & we have a Pho King good time in the hot broth until

we are swallowed, digested, and turned into part of a human being. It is only then that we looks back at our innocent days and weep for what we didn't know back then.
