Maria's childhood home

Maria now an old woman stood in her childhood home one last time. Awoken one evening and raced out the door by her parents almost fifty years ago. Flower wallpaper, which adorned her bedroom walls, now dilapidated from years of neglect. She prayed the metal box remained under the floorboard. The letter from her parents on her sixteenth birthday was intact. The last line read, "Remember you will always be our special angel. Love, Mom and Dad"
The tears poured out. A sharp chest pain gripped Maria, but it was too late. She collapsed to the floor dead.
