But the crumpled piece of paper still sat on her palm, with the meticulous writing of the errands that needed to be done. She coughed dryly, the dust entered her lungs so easily here.

"Hello, would you know if anybody lives here?" Even though she had a big smile on her face it felt strange, there was no one on the streets. Why had she been sent here?
