This story is for a story writing competition in Bangladesh, giving that the topic is " Journey To Civility ". This story is based on real life experiences of mine, just with names altered.

Please pray so I win! 🤍🌼 Ulli Ricci is an Italian girl born into one of Italy's respected aristocratic families, meaning she can become a debutante. But could she? This is something she's to fear the most. Her parents, Frederico Ricci and Nelly Giordano, do at least. They think debutante balls were the most unsuitable for their three children: Twins Ursula and Ulli, and Alexander Ricci. Moreover, Alexander was autistic and the twins were socially unapproachable for some apparent reason. Ulli and Ursula have long been the target of bullying and taunting by classmates and their own maternal cousin, Aubrey Giordano, too when their mother tells them that their pictures sent on Instagram stories were screenshot by Aubrey's friend Wendy, calling them weird and joking about them. For the case of Ulli's brother, Alexander? He's always being taken advantage of as he's incapable to defend himself. His toys are snatched by his younger cousins, who have no shame to do such because his autism makes him unable to retaliate and he ends up crying in these situations. Not only that, their community in Sicily was filled with fickle minded people who thought bullying special children, and in general, those socially unapproachable. Ulli and Ursula decide to start slow, by removing this terrible influence from family, and to others. They believe that there's still room for humanity in a heartless earth. ( Don't mean to expose much, but yes, the main character here's a representation of me, and in real life I do have a twin sister and autistic younger brother. Please pray for us! 🤍 )
