Attack 19

Loud wails echoed in a dark alley. A little kid ran towards the garbage can and threw itself against it. Blood ran down its face and it tumbled onto the ground.

"Goodness, Nana, what are you doing?" a pair of hands took the little girl into their arms. Nana blinked and barely could make out her mother's face.

"Why are you squinting your eyes?" Nana's mother walked out of the dark alley towards the busy main street.

"Can't see… good," Nana hiccuped.

"Oh no, is your eyesight bad? I'm sorry, mum should've realised it sooner," Nana's mother wiped the blood away from Nana's face and patted her head, "We'll get you glasses."

Nana buried her face into her mother's chest and fell asleep.
