Out in the street, dawn was beginning to break. In the gutter the child stirs, awakening. She shakes off the bad events in her early life with a shrug, breathing deeper than ever before. Entering a house she calls, "Grandma, I'm home!"
Down the stairs comes a withered woman. Her green eyes sparkle with a younger woman's life.
"You know Bethany, I had a dream last night, that the devil and my old boyfriend were arguing over your life. And you know what? My boyfriend won! Isn't that odd?" she laughs heartily. "I miss that man so much. I loved him so."
"Tell me about him Grandma."
"Well, when he first moved in, he had the tallest hair I had ever seen. He was a genius but a cocky boy too. We fought all the time…"
