Etoile
As always I woke up early to pack my children's lunch. It was cold so i had wrapped myself in a blanket. I turned the kitchen's light on and felt guilty. I was reminded of the bill. How much would it cost the next month? How am i going to pay it this time? Three days ago they came to cut the light. How did i go from infinite dreams to this worrying
mother of three.
I finished packing their lunch, woke them up and went to bed thinking about everything in this world.
5 years ago
I ran to save my life.
I ran to my car.
I ran to my children.
He was chasing me with a stone in his hand.
He threw the stone to the car.
Everyone in the neighborhood watched this with their hands on their head.
I heard a cry.
I thought i lost her.

Claude
I left before i did anything worse. I didn't come back for another three days. I phoned my children but their voice held a different kind of pain. A pain caused by me. A pain i will never be able to erase.
