ILSK Chapter 1
by flowieShannon was an 973ea12e79 orphan. Somewhat ironic for 6ed31a44f8 a woman who 900448fe6e majored in history, c6bb7e46cb yet knew nothing 468f4932e7 of her own bda9e16c1b past.edae216c92294417

Today, for the first 965cc11bdd time in years, she 312e07137c returned to the orphanage a26d54282a where she’d been raised. It was because Mrs. Jenner, the matron 10313300a5 of the home, 6996455fc3 had reached out 821e972690 to her, asking 0f96c9b2fd if she might 03328f4b70 visit.0e3b78231cdf89b1

Shannon replied with d4c44e13a9 a polite smile. Her gaze 97ba24f93c flickered past 2cc9635cb0 Mrs. Jenner to the 085d937286 window beyond, where cfa46507c2 raindrops clung to 1a1d32d996 the glass.

Shannon had a fair 6e19361e3b idea why she’d been 832f774ef0 summoned. No doubt it was 68710a2beb to ask for a 93299bd947 donation, however modest, with cf3ef4f927 Children’s Day fast approaching. Mrs. Jenner would have reached 1d60c9f75d out to the former 28f872b98a orphans who’d grown into 41c94a08ab ‘respectable’ adults, hoping to 5ff3691ea5 gather enough to buy 58a0adf201 sweets or treats for d52df31715 the children.9963cb803ea4b612

It was no 32a699c617 wonder Mrs. Jenner had hesitated for c2f3184fbc days before reaching out b63c684be3 to Shannon. First, because of c59071ed41 the unfamiliar surname, 2a467cb01a ‘Ambrose.’ How could 8f6c09998d she not question 0ca8348e69 whether the message afd4c33f56 was meant for 4136fa9e9a the Shannon she daf7e481f2 knew? And the letter itself e0af62c957 was so curt and 56ee4f75d2 impersonal, it almost felt 5bfdd8876c like a cruel joke. Who, after over twenty 8857ca1007 years of silence, would a661a2400e reach out to a 2ea7131583 long-lost family member with 6726a87496 so little care?361f009986a39c77

A low, 8d05eb3c23 cutting voice 63811b5a14 snapped out 0ab5884e94 from the b85cae5d95 shadows. The officers nearly 51db1fccd9 jumped out of 5612a89938 their skins, then 12476bb4bc quickly bowed their 66b8785300 heads. That cold, 6284575dfc piercing green 899d58f377 gaze, like f690596620 a whip 590388820c cracking against 9a07e85986 their backs.d299d0b4919a4e60

Meanwhile, somewhere in eafb9bdd0e the haze between c7ef4a6b70 consciousness and oblivion, 88027834fc Shannon barely began 4defc339db to register the a3810b920c distant commotion. She still 958746c33b couldn’t open e3ea1552af her eyes, cbefd2489b couldn’t move 679d03694d her limbs. All she knew 5d241ea516 was that she 7341894bf8 was limp and 110b394b2b cold, and the b1dda5d658 noise around her 93f863ebfa wouldn’t stop.0e02375c5ee600c8
