Thick and gloomy, the fog surrounding the cemetery whispered most excruciating words, adding to my pain... Adelaide I hate you.
The sentence of detest seemed as though it had been freshly said. Each day I tried to replace these untrue words and thoughts with the less tormenting life I had but they always found a way back to me... "
