Crybaby was sat on the wall near the flowing river bank,she turned to her brother and peeked her head over into his book and sighed "how can you read a book like that..?" She asked quietly."Like what..?"

Crybaby's finger darted towards the paragraphs "a book with no conversation or pictures!?" She exclaimed.Her brother shook his head as he read the words against the paper.

Crybaby watched the scenery before her as animals moved and the leaves danced in the cool breeze.

The book wasn't the most appropriate thing ,it was about something her brother did a lot....

Crybaby watched the leaves on the ground dance in the fresh breeze that ran throughout the air.

'Life is so sweet in the outside world..' she thought quietly but then remembered something 'but not at home..' her eyes slightly darkened at the thought of what went down within her house.

She sighed and her soft fingers gripped the hard wall as she turned to watch the river slowly move and shine.

'Life is so unfair' she thought as her finger carefully curled around the shimmery black side of her hair.

Why couldn't life be like wonderland...?
