the baby

His name is Eli, the barrow boy of the old town sells coal and madrigals. He is a hard worker his first love died. He has been with this woman for 1 year now.

I was packing my things the little that there was. That is when she came in it is because of her that I am leaving because of her I will have no money or place to stay to night. I hate her. “I want the baby” she does not hear me “I want to take the baby” she tells me no that it is not mine to take. She starts to run down stares to get the baby and keep me a way from him but she will not get her way this time. I close behind get to the baby at the same time I grab the arms the woman who has no right to be called the mother gets the legs. She is yelling at me to let go I yell back she puling harder so I pull harder then boom the baby rips in half. She drops to the floor crying yelling I can not take it “shut up or I will kill you” she gets up and start to hit me so I pull out my revolver an shoot her and leave the house.

very dramatic! I'm not so sure you made him a sympathetic character though.....
