Earlier this morning, I was dropped off at the orphanage. All I remember is passing out and everything disappearing, one by one. I don't know what happened, but I will find out. A drunk lady runs this place like a lunatic. I heard we have to wake up at four o'clock in the morning and stay up late just to clean non-stop. I still have the energy to do everything. I will find my parents and get out of this mess. I will sue them. I have a brother, who's probably going insane. I will look for him. I will always have the energy to do so. My energy never dies. Even when pain gets gruesome, crying about my brother, my energy will never die.

"Allison, run!" Mom yelled. Mom and I ran out of the car doors and ran as fast as we could. I found a water fountain. "Mom, water." I said. Mom replied, "We have no time." Mom's eyes drifted over to an abandoned house. This might be for shelter. Mom and I ran to that house. As soon as we arrived Mom collapsed. I leaned down. She had my face cupped in her hands. I fell asleep suddenly and slowly. 12 hours later... A loud boom woke me up like an alarm clock. I saw Mom covered in blood. "Mom," I cried, "run." "I love you, Allison." She mumbled to me, cupping my face in her hands. "Mom! Run!" I yelled. Once she got up, she collapsed again. Someone killed her. Someone killed her.
