A nine-year-old Italian girl growing up in Rome during the fascist era in Italy soon learns that toys have been banned in her country. Her neighbourhood toy store is closed down. The windows are boarded up, but through the slits in the plywood she can still see the toys sitting motionless in the darkness. Among the terror of the war, the girl finds herself in turmoil as well. Her mother, who was a supporter of Il Duce (Mussolini) expects her growing girl to prepare herself for the domestic duties of a good wife. A young girl questioning her identity, must find herself amidst a world of hate. She feels unready to forget her childhood and move on. It is as if she has woken up in a world she does not recognize. She sets off on a journey to steal the toys from the closed store and distribute them in secret to the children of the neighbourhood. She sees her midnight thievery as a small piece of resistance against the fascist regime that expects her to become a childbearing mother who turns her head when someone is suffering... This is a story for those who are drawn between childhood and adulthood in a world they do not understand.

[Edited] "You had to be extremely low on cash to wank into a cup for it," Dani sneered, feeling like a vindictive bully in a playground. But Carlo deserved it. She felt the first sharp stab of fear that went through her heart when Carlo looked at her with thunder in his eyes. "What are you going to do now? Kill me?" she continued. Fingering the 9mm in her back pocket, she remembered that she'd never even shot the damn thing, despite her brothers' pleas to teach her. Carlo's shadow blanketed her. "Kill you?" His brow furrowed. "Do you really think that lowly of me, cara? I'm wounded." "Then what the hell do you want?" His face flashed with a look she barely recognised - pure arousal. Even when he reached out and pulled her to him, she could feel it. "I realised that the mother of my child is more of a spitfire than I thought." His lips brushed her earlobe. "Call me a pyromaniac." *cover by @bullethood*
