Chapter 8 - The Story So Far
I visited a charming house owned by a charming couple, and at that time, I fell 2 stories high from their abode, skewered like a lamb with a gnome statue, had glass smashed on my face with scars still remaining there, and finally my ribs were dislocated and nearly protruded and burst through my skin, causing me to nearly die while in my tipsy stupor.
And to think, that was the moment I had made true friends for the first time since I escaped the Boiling Isles; friends with people who also were refugees from that place I used to call home. To think my life had changed for the better after that near-death experience.
I guess what people say and have said is true: truth is oftentimes stranger than lies and fiction. Yet, it is still the exception, obstinately and indiscriminately so.
