This story doesn't have a happy ending. There is no romantic carriage ride off into the sunset with your true love, no lost orphan girl who finds a family for herself or a freak who finds a place to belong. Deaths aren't pleasant. Not everyone turns old and gray, surrounded by loved ones as they pass away peacefully into oblivion with a smile on their face. This is a bitter tale of reality that starts and ends with a girl who has struggled throughout her short existence and just when she thinks she's found a bit of happiness, it is painfully and ruefully torn away from her by a screaming drunk and a semi-truck.
This is my story. Who says you have to live to tell a tale?
