    (The nightmares of your siblings alone in the flat, where you, your mother and your father have left them, are haunting you in your nights. The guilt always followed you from that moment and you couldn't forgive your mother and yourself for that; now you live with her and your father in a one floor house and you begin working at the age of 17 and your mother don't want to pay you school, now you're 25 and you keep working without a view for your own future, blocked with your parents with the guilt in your mind and the stress and frustration in my body.)

    You returned after a long day of work, you're exhausted and you fall down on the sofa as you turn on the TV to look at the news.

    The News tell about a complex of flats that burned down and you recognized the place, it was the same complex where you left your siblings, you felt so guilty and sad that you fainted on the sofa with the TV on.

    You get slapped not to strongly, but still it stings.

    "Wake up"

    You look at the tired and frustrated face of your mother: Renee has black hair kept in a loose yet high ponytail and pale, chartreuse eyes, although they can be mistaken for yellow. She he also has prominent lines under her eyes that reflect on her weariness. She wears a dark vest over a light shirt, a loose necklace and a pleated skirt coming up to her ankles.

    "Make some space" She says coldly, while you lift yourself up and I sit straight and your mother sits beside you to look at the TV; she seem that is returned from a long and frustrating day at work, as always.

    This is the kind of day where she comes back, then she would neglect you for all the day and in the night you would hear "commotion" in your parents room and you know exactly what they do in their room, you saw their "toys" while you cleaned the house.

    "Hey are you awake or are you daydreaming?"

    She says coldly as she looks at you.
