there was once a young mother who could not care for her newly-born son. however, she loved her son very much and she did not want him to belong to another family. so, she took him out to the highway just outside of town, and she talked with the road and the trees and the sky and she begged them to take care of and protect her precious baby. and with that, she left him between the yellow lines and drove away from him with tears in her eyes. and as he grew, the road gave him a playground, and the trees gave him shelter, and the sky gave him warmth and light for seventeen summers. he lived off of nature, picking up whatever clothing he could find discarded by the side of the road and eating the fruit that grew on some of the trees, and he ate some of the berries in the forest. and on the seventeenth summer, everything changed.
Author notes
This story will have a lot of chapters, in alternating POV. There will be two main characters, and the POV will switch between the two for each chapter. This story was inspired by a poem that I wrote, and if you'd like to read it it's here-

Wow, this was an interesting way to start a story. I wonder how the rest of the story goes after reading just this little bit. However, I think it's a bit short to be a prologue. Maybe just the first paragraph of a prologue. I also think it would be better suited to be posted on a story site instead of allpoetry.com, which is pretty much just for poetry. Try posting it over as fictionpress.com and see how much of a better reception you get over there.

Interesting!
After reading your prologue I can't say that I didn't want to read it. I find the story line to be very interesting and I'm curious as to find out what happens next! Sounds like a great write so far, keep working at it, and good luck!
just one question....by POV what do you mean?
