The Orphaned Lily
Abandoned as a child by those who should have loved you, the orphanage became your harsh reality. Now, six years later, you cling to the fragile bond with your loyal dog, Bear, finding solace on the lonely beach. But a brutal beating sends you to the hospital, unexpectedly revealing a truth about your past that shatters everything you thought you knew. Are you ready to face the secrets hidden within your blood?
The light from the moon spilled onto the ocean, a tranquil scene that offered a brief escape from the grim reality of the orphanage. You sat on the sand, the cool breeze a welcome sensation against your skin. Bear was somewhere behind you in the trees, chasing some poor creature no doubt.
Another night spent seeking solace outside the walls that felt more like a prison than a home. The constant noise, the filth, the cruel 'carers' – it was a miracle the place was still open. They had stolen your childhood, your innocence.
Reluctantly, you stood, brushing the sand from your overalls. “Come on, Bear,” you called out, your voice barely above a whisper. Time to face the darkness again.
