Over two decades ago, a lower classed women was about to give birth to her overdue 10 month baby. She couldn't give birth because she was scared for her baby's health, given her past miscarriage she didn't want to miscarriage another baby because she was afraid that would be her last baby because she was getting old. But through all the darkness a little light shines and a little healthy baby boy was born. His name was Brian Hue, and being in the womb for nine months made A little odd. The lower-class family lived in a large home which is unusual because they were really poor. No one else in the town had a house as big as the Hue family. Although the town was poor there was a vast amount of coal underneath the town so settlers of all areas of the globe traveled there in order to get a piece of that cash. Brian's father carried a diamond sword which was passed through his family for generations and generations all the time. Brian's Mother went back to farming beats and pumpkins for the town because that was her job. The town was full of idiots Who were all greedy for the coal. They didn't care about anybody or anyone who got in their way. Eight years later the situation is all the same everyone in the town including Brian, Brian's mom and Brian's dad are still poor. Brian was still getting picked on at school and nobody liked him there was some other incidents with the house when the Hue family stopped paying rent to the town and they almost took the house away. Dead bushes would always grow near Brian's house for some reason there was a big hole underneath Brian's house but the building was still somewhat stable. One night a coalminer went down to the mine with the torch he was going to go dig out some coal, but the town forbid that anyone did coal past midnight. Meanwhile Brian, in school was getting bullied and was afraid to go to school he ditched every day he could just do not go to school.

While he was in the house he escaped to the jungle nearby. When his parents found out that he wasn't in school they rushed home to see if he was there. But no luck. The time was reaching about 9 o'clock when Brian finally came home. The torch that the minor had left was burning bright it reached Brian's house and started a fire.
