Cry at Night!! Oh please cry alone....

He witnessed a blanket of blue, "where am I" Michael wondered, as he looked around, he began to realize that there was a colossal distance between his feet and land. As he tried to move, his body grazed softly beneath, it was like cool wool soaked in water and at the horizon he witnessed the most brilliant sunrise, birds flying through a field of gold. 

"Am I in heaven?” he thinks, No! He was on top of a cloud. Before he could think of why he his here, he is taken back by the new experience. His curiosity made him wander over the edge and there was a telescope pointed below.

Wait! If you think this story is about Michael, it is not. He gazed through the glass and saw a life of a little girl. The story is about the little girl, Sarah. Little girl kisses her mom and says goodbye as she leaves her home, holding back her tears, hoping that she would find enough money to make all her worries go away. Little that she knew, the pursuit of money would bring in new worries!

She sets foot on an unknown land, surrounded by unknown faces; all that she knows is that her sisters are in hunger. The city, full of vultures, who hang around in the darkness, until she kneels, wounded, scared. Sarah is not that kind; she is a fighter, a phoenix.

But she cries in the night, all alone, where no one sees her fragility. No one but one, Michael sees her, and he wishes her sorrows ended. He is helpless to help, wished that she would find fortune.
