It was far into the future in a dystopian society. But this wasn't a world were technologically was insanely advanced- it was quite the opposite. In every way possible, the world was stuck in the late 1800s. Technology, laws, fashion- everything. So your life as a wife and mother was rather awful.

You were a 23 year old woman with 4 children. You were a part of the upper class, your husband, Herbert Strouse, being a politician. You really disliked your painfully dull life- but you did love your children. You had a five year old named Edmund, a 3 year old girl named Glynis, a 2 year old girl named Beth, and a 9 month old boy named Kris. You loved each of them dearly, but you found yourself in constant melancholy.

You didn't care for your 40 year old husbands personality. You did love Herbert, but he was mean. At a party, you made a rude yet honest comment to another politician- and you were punished. You were punished in a way that hadn't been used in the Middle Ages, but the government was bringing back. You were sentenced to wear a shame mask. One that resembled a donkey. And you had to have it on for a long while.

Currently, you were walking into the bank with Edmund. You needed to get some money out for your husband, but it was a law that women had to have a male to leave the house with them. So your maids were taking care of your other children while you were at the bank filled with men.
