Dreaming Insanity
The stone road leading up to the cottage was a long road. It was a lonely walk to my, Peach Gazelle Parker, home. All of my family, except for my grandmother, was dead. They all died when I was young. My mom died shortly after I was born into the world. My dad died when I was five, of the Spanish influenza epidemic. I wasn???t touched by it.

???It???s coming along just the way I planned Miss. Parker.???
???That???s good.??? I told him. ???Mrs. Jolin? Where are you???? I said loudly.
???I???m over here deary.??? I looked to where the noise came from.
