Covered In Sin: An Inspirational Urban Drama

An Inspirational Urban Drama.

"Why are you like this?" the counselor asked.

I did not reply. Isn't she the professional? Isn't she the one who is supposed to diagnose me? With a straight face, I gawked at her thinking, 'She's just like the rest of them.'What choice did I have?

I was cursed before I was birthed. Then my parents were killed right in front of me. I knew him. He was family! A family member who did not care to think about what would happen to me once the system got hold of me. Sadly, nobody cares about anyone. In this world, you gotta make it on your own. Some people blame God for their misfortune, but I never met Him, don't know anything about Him, so I blame my mom.

My name is Winter Santiago.

To most, I am the big-lip, dark-skinned girl who will never be anything in life. No man will ever love me because I ain't nothing to love. I'm dumb and evil, just like my momma was, and I will be dead before my twenty-first birthday.

Those are just some of the curses spoken over me. Did I prove them wrong? Yeah, but I still did not escape the sins that covered me when I was forced to enter this dark world.

This story isn't only about me; we all crossed paths for one reason or another. In the end, you tell me if there is a God. And if so, does He know me? Does He know us and what's the reason we were chosen to face this life?
