The obvious purpose of this website is to expose the truth on the injustices that are happening in the world around us without the public knowing about them. The website itself doesn’t…
"Was she scared?" Beyond remained there; lending an ear to the male with a black wing shielding him from the pouring rain. "She died from the Spanish Flu, the nurses and doctors told me," he persisted. "I was stupid to think it could have been something different." Beyond stood there as she listened to his words.
