There is a girl named Patricia. Until she was only seven years old, she had a great life and she lived happily with her mother and father in Maryland. It was a great life for a young girl, they had each other and their hopes with dreams.
They also had their desires as well. Then one day, a nasty thing happened. It happened when Patricia and her family were on their way home from a carnival. A nasty wrong turn caused the car to take the ditch and killed Patricia's mother and father. Their own troubles were over in at at sixteen seconds.
At least it was quick, they were dead and gone in eighteen seconds flat. Patricia on the other hand was very much alive and is now alone and scared in a lonely world. Patricia was sent away to live with her step uncle.
Her step uncle is named Alphonse and I"m sorry to say this, but he's a really horrible person. Alphonse is her father's step brother. He treated Patricia like a slave and right from the beginning, he started to beat poor Patricia for almost no reason at all. He made Patricia wear rags and make her work from mid morning till early evening.
He made her sleep in the basement. As time went on, she became sadder and more lonely.
After Patricia lived with her step uncle for two years, there came a time when she did something that she hadn't had the thought of since living with him. Run away from this place and go somewhere far away from him. She wasn't sure what day though.
