A victim of circumstance

Jasmine was crying hysterically in a deep despair and a state of solitude.It had been a miserably long night for her.Huddling up herself in the corner of the room,she was helpless.No one was around to console her.

She was obliged to be in this nightmare by force of circumstance.She couldn't help herself recalling her undesirable memories that drove her displaced,homeless,and hanging around in a strange land.That dreadful horrifying event and sheer awfulness that she bitterly experienced would never be eliminated and stuck forever on her mind.

One more thing added to her sorrow, she got news of her beloved only son,got caught in the hands of merciless soldiers of sloc and now under custody.How had he been?,bad beyond his endurance? ,was he thinner and thinner as he used to be ? , and so and so .

Gradually,as the dawn breaking, she gazed admiringly out of her window at the tall chimney of the suger factory a little far away in the distance.It was belching out white dense smoke into the sky.The smoke grow higher and higher.It was clear against the morning sky and working uninterruptedly .Suddenly she felt the chimney encouragingly smiling at her .Wiping her tears off ,she realised that she absolutely gained strength to move on struggling for her son.So greatful to be !

Recalling the days in Regensburg.
