Sound in Life's Dark Silence

As a little girl, Teresa always knew she didn't belong. Her mother made it increasingly obvious over the course of her life. Amanda always made the excuse that God put Teresa on the earth so that she could let out her frustration, or that she was punished by God that her daughter was conceived in the first place. All of these conclusions made Teresa hate going to, or even passing by a church of any kind. If God was so wonderful, why did He put her on this earth to be tormented by her mother?

Teresa only had one way to escape, and that was her music. She always carried an iPod, her phone, and ten sets of ear buds. She always used music to escape the cruelty of her mother, and the world. Though, one day, she decides to take those things that mattered most to her, and leave her past behind her. As she escapes her town, wandering around for whatever she can find, she must escape the law, bandits, make new friends and foes, and come face to face with the person she wants to run from the most.
