Fault Lines - Four Lives
I have a name
I toil at two jobs for my future
I hope one day to be a healer
I have a name
Should I marry him? Will we be happy?
What will our children become?
I have a name
I've finally paid off my debts
Now I can spread my wings and fly
I have a name
This idea of mine. I know it will work
It will change the world
Unconnected. Separated. Isolated
Until now
... and finally in the news
There was a minor quake today
Damage to property was minimal
Disruption to services was temporary
There were four casualties
