Girly girl

I noticed that the little girl was wearing clothing that wasn’t necessarily ‘clean’. She was wearing some shoes that was really dirty and worn out.

It was hot. So hot, that sweat caused clothes clung to all skin it came into contact with. This sweat was dripping off her as if it was forced water cascading from a small opening at the top of the head of a statue standing in the center of a fountain.

If this was not the worst bed bell dream a child receive as a gift, then the horror that came next to mind was told true.
