The Darkest - Blackest Tuesday (Epilogue)

Daddy, George's eyes are still opened so he's alive
"Lilyann, what the Hell is going on ; Joe call the Police
Tell them we need a couple of ambulances"
Come here little guy, Dad took a hanky out of his pocket
wiped my lips Looks like you lost some teeth
At least they were baby teeth soon 5 Police cars and 2 ambulances
They took Ma'am In her blood soaked dress into the first car 
"Wait : Ma'am George said HE LOVES YOU
The next day We all headed to new Foster Homes.

Inspired by YOUTH Dedicated In LOVING MEMORY Of  George Francis Murphy

Wow Talk about Cruella. I hope she was prosecuted... also hope your next home had a much nicer mother figure......the tragedy is that some people are mentally unstable and it is the innocents that suffer for it. My heart is heavy for the childhood you endured, Much love. Your S-N & P SuZ

I don't know how anyone could treat a child like this .I'm sorry it happened to you Harry.You should write a novel about it so people everywhere will know that this does happen .Even if it helps one child it would be worth it. Read all of them and am sad for all of the children, hope they turned out as well as you. Hugs my friend.Anne.

I wish that didn't have to happen to you. But I'm glad you were taken away from that and it didn't go any further. I am also glad that you endured. Such instances can never be forgotten. And I am impressed by your story you presented to us. Always, Laura

He has, quite a life.that he's. . lived through. the rest i am at a lost for word. i love you forever Harry. -Always&Forever Your sister spirit Lynn

I just read your comment, that this is bio HG. Your love has rescinded more than your share of the sins driven by the wicked minds of humanity, in this life, by the fact, that you have forgiven all. My hat is off to you , My man. Love covers the multitude of sins. And your love has done it's part in your ability to forgive these artrocities. Hats off again, Sincerely, Moses

I agree with Carolyn, Stephen King couldn't do one in more gross than this one. Good Job Hg, a very interesting story, write a novel! Sincerely, moses

My goodness! Thank God these children were sent to new foster homes. This is an amazing story. Is Stephen King your ghost writer? Love, Carolyn
