I was so happy with my new home, a spacious haven that promised a new beginning.

But as I rushed inside, I was met with an unpleasant surprise.

Rats, lizards and vermin invaded every corner.

I decided to tackle the problem, arming myself with a shovel and devoting the afternoon to removing every nasty creature.

Exhausted, as night fell, I cleared the corners with a hoe, getting rid of all the rubbish.

But when I woke up, I was surrounded by policemen and doctors.

They were explaining to those present that I had left my medication and missed my appointments, trying to make sense of the tragedy at the orphanage.

My mind clouded over, unable to remember what had happened.

How had I gotten here, what had I done?

I was overcome with fear and confusion, aware that something terrible had happened.
