Here I was, settled alongside my children. Both sat down, each of them by
my side, Darren on my left and Francesca on my right. I caressed both their heads
gently. These were the twins I had always dreamt of having.
Their eyes glimmered. ‘Mom, what was the world like when you were a
teenager?’
I got a sudden memory lapse. It took me way back into time, the moment
where our kind was to be exterminated. The thought of living up to this day was a
wish coming true. I was once a normal girl who had normal needs, until the day it
all changed. As time went on I changed, as well as everything around me. The
world was already a place dented with violence, death, war and injustice but no
one could ever think that it could be worse than this. Things changed when
everything became even more frightening. The torment I experienced every day
of my life urged me to open up to someone, to my kids and that’s why I was going
to let future generations know what exactly had happened.
