A picture story – Finding home.

I can hear the shrubs beneath my feet as I walk, the stick breaks with a sound, it goes cra- sh—- the wind blows my hair, the chill that runs through my spine is evident as my teeth clatters my body shivers, the tall trees look like walls clashing together to devour me, my heart goes badump- badump, I wonder why, as many thoughts run through my mind a drop of water falls to my face but all I can think of is the night before I became the girl in the woods….Sonia sighs.

Sonia is a young orphan who was raised by foster parents, Mr and Mrs. Adams. Left to harsh hands of the world at a rather young age, she is forced to run away. It all started a few weeks after she settles into her new foster home. Her new parents had adopted her because they had no children of their own.

They treated her like their own until fate changed the sounds of time. Mrs. Adams got pregnant and after a while, things turned around worse. The couple’s behavior changed and all their love and attention had fallen to their yet unborn baby forgetting they had made a promise six years back to take very good care of then nine years old Sonia.

Things got eventually really bad and all efforts to escape physcial and emotional abuse from her so called parents proves abortive.

The night before she took the decision to settle down in the woods, she had gone through alot. The new mother, Mrs. Adams was having one of her post natal mood wings again and she faulted Sonia for not clearing the baby’s toys. She resulted to slapping and physically hurting Sonia. That was the end of it, all the abuse was going to end. Leaving a thank you note behind, she leaves the place she once called home for the woods.

Hey guys, I know that it’s rather confusing but according to my course, it says I have to see a picture and make a story out of it. I saw a pic of a girl walking into the woods and that’s what I made up, do tell me what you think. It’s inspired by child abuse stories and how life has left some people with no choice but to consider no one has family. Yesterday, I wrote about hope and today, am giving it to anyone who could need it. We all go through struggles in life but where there is a will, there’s a way.😊

You should try it, search a picture online and then from what you see make up your story or maybe try to imagine yourself in that situation, it really works😌
