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-

Seems interesting. I'd like to see where it goes. A child abandoned and left to grow up on his own....

I wonder what will happen! It sounds like a good beginning for a story, but I notice the grammar's not as good in the story as in the author notes; there are run-on sentences, nothing's capitalised, and 'and' is used far too much.
Other than the grammar, though, it looks awesome!. Rewarded 6

This sounds scary when you read it while listening to the thriller.
