Picture With A Story

Escape. Something he had been dreaming of his whole life. Everyday, he would sit by the fence for hours, dreaming about the day that he would be free. Life had never been easy for him the moment he was born. When he was about five years old, he learnt that his mother had passed away when she gave birth to him. A few years later, his father was involved in a fatal car accident which killed him on the spot. Following that incident, his luck got worse as he was sent to foster parents who mistreated him. Rather than treat him like a son, they treated him like a servant, making him do menial chores such as washing clothes, washing the dishes, cleaning the house and among other heavy chores. All these chores for an eight year old! Everyday, he would have the same routine where he had to perform all his chores. If not, he would receive beatings from his foster parents or sometimes they would go to the extent of starving him. Every moment, he would sit down by the fence, thinking how his life would be if his parents were still alive. Would he be suffering like this? Would he be happy? All the endless possibilities. But one word has always been replaying in his mind ever since he arrived here. Escape. One day, he knows that he will escape and be free of this suffering.
