It is the year 16A5. I am Stephen . I was born and raised in a whorehouse, I ran away when I was fourteen. Albert Einstein had picked me up from the streets when I reached fifteen. I used to work under him as his apprentice for a few years, until he died in 15A4. This is not a story about me. This is a story about a question. The question. Our lives as living beings are all circled around this particular question. This is a story about a question. The question which nobody has ever asked, which nobody has ever answered. Although you as a reader are part of this question, but not I. I am here to answer, not to question. To question is a sin for me. "Young, old, the weak, the bold, have always lived together, But tides of life, of new and old have enlightened the observer. Nor does he question, nor does he will, His calm his only weapon, But the ballads of silence have lumbered still, To keep his heirs one." -The Sermon at the Hill, Jensus Criest

What did they mean? I knew who I was, didn't I? I was Rosalia Mallory, a girl left on the doorstep of our town's foster agency to find a new home. From there I went through three homes before at the age of 16 instead of having to live in the group home I secured enough money to, along with the money the foster carers were given for me, to buy an apartment building. Alongside a job bartending and waitressing I had enough money to attend college and am currently studying Religion and Mythology, Creative writing and Art. Just a normal teenage girl with a normal life. But at the same time, I'm not. Who am I? Seems like the most cliché question a teenager can ask right? Except when your missing months, if not years, of your life suddenly that seemingly simple question takes on a whole new meaning. After all, if you don't know your whole past how can you answer that for yourself?
