Ficlets

The orphanage 1

The room they were in was very dark with the only light coming from one small candle at night and a little window in the day. These children residing in this small, filthy, empty room were orphans, controlled by him. He was the owner of the orphanage and treated the kids very cruelly. They always addressed him as sir in person because they never really knew his real name. But whenever they were alone, they just said him or he with the worst feeling of hatred ever. The kids were given three pieces of bread and a glass of water to share among each other three times a day. They were never allowed to leave thier room without permission, if they ever disobeyed, they were beaten. So they stuck together, they were like a close family. And if one was weak from a beating or sickness, that kid would get the biggest share of bread and water. They all hoped for freedom one day and planned to achieve it.
