Writing Experiment.

" The words were clear, this was not a story meant for children. I pushed my child into the other room and carefully pulled the wall paper off the wall to read the hidden message. I began reading, It was Mary Shaws legend... I thought it was nearly a myth, clearly i was mistaken.  Such dark words, such despair... I was learning so much that was kept hidden from us for so long. I kept reading, but as i got to the final paragraph my bones began to shake. I felt so uncomfortable and disgusting . My child came into the room and put their tiny arms around me in a embrace like motion. It startled me, but i soon felt comfort. I tried to hug back but my arms were so weak. I couldn't handle this stress, i crumpled the wallpaper up and took my leave outside. If her legend was the only reason keeping this thought around i decided i'd burn it. I lit the fire pit and waited patiently for the flames to grow.. At the right moment i threw the papers into the fire and watched it slowly burn the text away. Her legend will no longer live on..
