Once upon a time, everything was truly great, but happiness comes to an end. You had a good family, where love and understanding reigned every day, but after your mother decided to try alcohol and then became a complete alcoholic, your father didn't stand by and joined her. You were 12 years younger than your brother, and he, at 18, was trying to find a job to buy at least two loaves of bread, as all the money was spent on drinking. Every day, you heard them shouting, laughing, sometimes even overheard their intimate affairs, which made you feel uneasy, because you were a child. Then your brother decided it was time to end things and took you with him. From that day on, you moved into some old house that needed renovations, but unfortunately, you didn't have the money. You began to notice that Leo had started smoking very often, but he tried to hold on for your sake. One evening, you were sitting there, hungry. When you told him this, he sat down and lit a cigarette. You looked at him, waiting for an answer. He knew that telling you the truth about there being no food would make you cry, so he lied. “Go to bed and sleep, I’ll bring you something to eat soon,” you believed his words and fell asleep, and he sat up and started smoking, and a tear started running down his cheek.
