Desperate times.
prologue:
It was another freezing cold night in another freezing cold winter. My name is Sparrow (8) i live in the delapidated slumes of bowerstone old town with my sister Rose (12) as our parents dissapeared years ago not that i remember them. So it was just us and our falling apart shack in one of the back alleys of the old town i desperatly wanted to escape this life but whatever idea i came up with my annoying sister would always shoot it down.
Always saying my ideas weren't moral ones like stealing even though i was a fairly good pickpocket not that i could practice much since she rarely let me out of her sight. So i usually stole from rose when trailing behind her for the little scraps of food she had on her it's not like i feel bad for it i haven't eaten in two days and haven't had proper water in about a week as i've been drinking melted snow . I mean who cares if it's moral or not it's not like i have options im a realist i will do what it takes to survive which is why for the past year i've been trying to escape from my sister but it's not as easy as you would think.
For one she is a very light sleeper every time i try to sneak away while she's sleeping she always wakes up weather it's the creaky floorboards or the sound of me jumping over the steps she always wakes up. So my best option is to sneak away during the day which im going to try yet again tommoro morning hopefully i will be able to escape but where to there are only two options really i can eather go to bowerstone market and steal from the shops there. Or i could head to the graveyard since i doubt Rose will look for me there because she thinks i'm scared of the graveyard which i'm not. So out of the two options i'll try to head to the market but how i ditch Rose is another matter altogether...
