Chapter 1 Preface

I sat on the tarred ground of nowhere and wept bitterly as the rain fell on me, I could not feel anything but a hole being dug in my heart. I had lost the one person who gave me hope, who was always there to keep me sane. Nana's smiling face in the picture frame looked like she was passing a message but one I could not understand right now because my head was clouded with thoughts of how I was to survive in this world alone. Where will I start from? What should I do? Must I stay here? I am old enough to live on my own am I not? Questions like this filled my head and made me cry the more.

I kept looking at Nana's picture frame which I held closely to my chest sitting in the middle of nowhere after running away from that mad house.

I garnered some strength and stood up from the tarred floor where I sat and decided to walk to the road side bench and sit, then I heard a loud honk and I turned to look at who did that and saw a fast moving car closing in on me, my brain did a double take immediately shutting down and I did not know what to do. I found myself rolling on the car's roof and falling to the ground only then did I realize that I had just been hit by the car, I felt happy that I would finally leave this painful and miserable life and join my Nana then I looked at the broken picture frame and I started moving towards it to pick up the picture so that if I was to die, I would die hugging her but my body could not move, it felt like I was still in that mad house where my legs and hands will be cuffed and I will not be able to move them, I tried all I could but my head was spinning and I felt so dizzy, black dots started clouding my vision - I looked at Nana's picture once more and then allowed the sleep take over me.
