Finally Bertha broke the silence with a whisper, “I was positive it wouldn’t come until the year 2435.” Britney raised her head slightly, just enough to catch a glimpse of her mother. She noted her tired look and the swollen bags under her eyes. She also couldn’t help but notice the way her lips were turned, slightly downwards. The news concerned her mother; her mother who always managed to stay calm during any
