Imagine falling. Imagine falling through darkness for eternity. Oh sorry I'm getting ahead of myself. My name is Malachi Hensley. Have you ever wondered what is is like to fall forever, let me tell you it's not fun. Let me tell you why I am here. Now you make think it is some heroic story but it really isn't. You see I fell in love with the villages most hated woman's daughter, Amina. Man is she beautiful, we were going to run away together and get married. That was until that one fateful day. I was walking to Amina's house on November 17th 1725 with a rose and to finally confront her mom. When I arrived at the cottage they were both sitting outside in their garden. Amina instantly stood up and ran into my arms when she saw me. Naima, her mom just glared, she hated me. I gave Amina the rose and walked up to Naima. I told her I would like to marry her daughter. There was a moment of silence and in a flash my life was ruined.
