1 Hazel’s Story

It was a bright sunny day in the city of Avalon. My daughter Hazel had just been at the table eating breakfast with her mother Esmeralda. Me and Esmeralda weren't married for Hazel was not really my child. It was 6 years ago when I found Esmeralda at my door step clutching on to her 8 month pregnant stomach. There was blood all over and I being the only doctor in Avalon she had no where else to go. The village had never seen Esmeralda so I immediately knew she wasn't from here. The baby was born without any problems that morning premature but she was going to make it. Today I will be going out of town and won't see them for five days. I offered Esmeralda shelter and I was off to Phoenix which was two villages up stream to help a wealthy man recuperate his strength.
