They might end up murdered if so". I hated that place everyday that I had to wake up in it. It made the days feel longer and the nights feel even longer.

    Dreams of being a mother during the 19th century were demolished when the birth rate of babies increased dramatically, for the only way to “care” for a child, was to abandon them.
