Chapter
1
Ten year
old Seamus crawled onto the straw mat that served as a bed. His mother walked
over and pulled up the thin cover, tucking her child in as best she could.
Despite her best efforts, Seamus still shivered under the cold night air. His
mother sat down on the edge of the mat and lightly brushed a strand of stray
hair off his forehead. Then she started to sing. It was a song he knew well,
for she had sung it to him every night of his life.
Sleep
my little angel sleep
In your
dreams the galaxy is yours to keep
Close
your eyes little Shay
Soon
enough will come day
Until
then sleep my little angel sleep
Dream
my little child dream
Dream
of blue skies with clouds of cream
Push
aside your fears
Mother
will always be here
to guard
my child forever more
Gloria
Harper looked down at her only child as he slept. This was the only time she
would be able to see him at peace. During the day, he was hiding the hunger
pains or playing in the filthy streets with his cousins. But when he slept, it
all went away. And he would look so innocent.
Gloria
knew, deep inside she knew, he wasn't supposed to be here. That he'd eventually
leave for a destiny greater than this. And somehow, she thought, she was going
to be there to watch it all.
