His parents abandoned him on the cold streets during winter, apparently he ate something bad and also caught a bad cold so he couldn’t speak. His breathing was too loud too, like a broken radio. He wrote in his book that he was tired of living. So I told him, if he climbed the rooftop and looked down, he would fall deep enough to enter the ground and into paradise where he would be able to live a good life.” Elaine threw her head back and laughed. “Funny right?”Mr Janssen was now having troubles with breathing. With much difficulty, he turned his head to the side to gaze at Elaine. His eyes were deep with emotions.“Aish Shit! That look, I hate that look in your eyes! I DON'T NEED YOUR PITY.” She swung her hand on his shoulders down, throwing him on top of the wooden table. His head hit the side of the table and he fell to the ground, a larg

He originated from a small village in the underworld, ridiculed with sudden famine and drought due to change in weather, people died like chickens. This led to an increase in crime rates. The government saw this as an opportunity to buy children from the underworld at cheap rates for experimental purposes. Families resorted to selling their children.
