She was furious. Why were these things so captivating, that they neglected even their own daughter? Then she found a hand-drawn sketch with simple lines, one dot circled in red with a question mark next to it.
She had someone check the date the paper was drawn, and it was exactly one or two days after she fell into a coma. Her heart was filled with irony; a living, breathing life was worth less than an archaeological discovery. Perhaps, to them, she shouldn't have been born.
