I’m one of the lucky ones. At least that’s what mother always used to tell me. I wonder what she would say now. Father had a different view on things.

I held fond memories of the city from back in the 1910s of women walking in modest dresses and large hats with their dapper husbands on the streets, sometimes with a few rambunctious children. The people were happy and content in their lives, not realizing the First World War…

Her relationship with Chloe is better; I think a part of that may be the fact that Chloe is the spitting image of her with long blonde hair and green eyes. I don 't know what my father looks like, but I think I remind her of him with my long red hair and blue eyes, the only thing I got from her was the fact that my skin could tan. Her way of dealing with me now is pretending that I don 't exist. As long as I provide the money she doesn 't talk to me, she has never asked me how I earn the money,…

I was laughed at and so I went in the school to hide. I didn’t cry but I was roughed up. I never seem to let anything…
