The store fronts and saloon all dark, their keepers and customers alike all tucked in their beds. A... chilly breeze fluttered through the new green leaves of the giant old oak tree outside the enormous white A-frame house. A shingle hung from a low branch, squeaking its protest against the breeze. The wood board was burned to read “Braxton’s home for orphans.” Missus Braxton, its owner, was orphaned herself and was raised by a horribly mean aunt. When her husband passed away, she opened her home and her heart to lost children everywhere. The house too, was silent in the early morning hours, the children sleeping, all but one. A slight lone figure sat on the edge of a small made bed. A worn tapestry satchel on the floor beside her was packed and stood at the ready. The law said she could leave at the dawn of her sixteenth birthday. Her small fists clenched the scratchy blue warm woolen blanket. She would not miss its drab color or the itchiness on her skin. Her heart pounded in anticipation of the sunrise. The sunrise she had looked forward to for five years. Her eyes fixed on the small window above the four-year-old Lydia’s blonde tousled head.
