After Sunset » h.s

Prologue

I'm an orphan girl, I work in the orphanage. I'm already 18 but they don't let me leave. They say my mother made them "promise" before she "died" that I could never leave this orphanage.

I'm getting tired of this, I don't like this. I want to rule over my own world. I want to live my own life. I don't want people telling me what to do.

That's why I've come to a point were I have made a decision. I'm running away, tonight as soon as every light in the orphanage goes off.

But it's not gonna be easy, I don't know what is waiting for me out there. That's one of the reasons why I want to get out of here. I've never been out of the grounds of the orphanage.

I don't really have a life. All I

do is work and pretend to be happy all the time. I've never experienced any good feelings, like excitement, joy and great happiness. The only thing that's keeping me alive is hope, hope on being free one day. I only use a pencil and notebook.

My diary.

And this is my story, the story of Isabella White.
