Gothic Story
Depression: feelings of severe despondency and dejection. To have a gloomy or upsetting mood that can happen after a tormenting experience in one’s life.
This is exactly how I felt. London, 1845, the well known and proud Victorian era which was ruled by Queen Victoria I. The moon had vanished in the midnight sky as the clouds crawled over it. The air started to make a lullaby in my ear, like a music box for little children. The horse’s clipped and clopped along the old concrete road. Their hooves reminded me of my old rocking horse that I grew up with as I got bigger, stronger and more powerful. As the air sang its lullaby, it tried to whisper to me. Was it telling me something?

I told the carriage to stop, and so I rushed over to it. As I looked over at it, I saw one of its organs lying there next to it. I picked up the organ and handed it over to the poor thing. It was soft, squishy, like a stress reliving toy. I sat down next to it, with its battered head lying on my lap. I sat there. I did not care about the people walking past and seeing me, or it, I just wanted this thing to be safe and to be in
