…this was all just a dream
…I was young and not afraid of anything
…I was five years old and I was made to wear sandals. I screamed and cried because I thought the sandals would kill me. I was then made to walk up a spiral staircase, whilst I was in tears. Buttons also used to make me cry, ’til this day I cannot wear a shirt.

…I didn’t have a mobile phone or internet access.
