Arwyn Sanchez walked to her grandmother's house with a spring in her step as it was her 17th birthday. It was a humid July day in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The date was the 13th of July, 2068. Arwyn's long black hair was in a bun sitting high on her head. Her cold shoulder top and shorts showed off her her gorgeous dark skin.

 She ran into her grandma's house to find her crying in her rocking chair. "Grandma! What's wrong?" She said extremely confused. "I knew this day would come...the day I would have to tell you." The old woman cried. "Tell me what grandma?" Arwyn asked. The old woman stared at the granddaughter, tear streaks shimmering on her pale white face. She covered her face, overwhelmed with emotions. "Tell me what grandma..." Arwyn questioned much more seriously. "Your Grammie....the two of us...her brother...." The only woman stopped talking for a minute to continue crying.

  Arwyn never knew anything about her Grammie. In fact, this was the first time her grandmother ever mentioned her since she died 20 years before. Arwyn's mother was 12 when she died and nobody in her family ever mentioned her. It was like she was erased from existence.  And nobody ever said how she died. Arwyn assumed it was just natural causes like a disease of some sort, even though she had no evidence that she was ever sick or unhealthy. The only reason Arwyn knew of her existence was that her grandmother wore her wedding band around her neck, and she once saw her in a ripped up photo from their wedding day, her gorgeous long dyed white hair glowing in the sunlight, in front of a lesbian pride flag banner, wearing a black wedding dress. 

"Grammie?" Arwyn asked. "You never talk about Grammie!"  The old woman cried harder. "That's because she died due to this mistake!" She stopped to cry some more. Arwyn was speechless with shock. "All my friends died or went missing. I only survived because..." She stopped talking to catch her breath. "Your Grammie saved me...and she payed for it later..." Arwyn sat down in bewilderment. "Well you might as well tell me the story." She sat there as her grandma started to explain.....
