THE STORY OF MY ANCESTOR.
In the 19th century, my ancestor Elizabeth arrived in Australia as a prisoner ! This is her story.
She lived in London in 1835. At that time, lots of Londoners were poor and starving. One day, as she was walking past a bakery, Elizabeth couldn’t resist stealing a piece of bread. Unfortunately, a bobby caught her red-handed. She tried to escape but she couldn’t and was sent to court for that crime.
Elizabeth was sentenced to deportation as a convict. She was deported to Australia just because of a stolen piece of bread! During the ship voyage, she met Jane and Oliver who were also deportees. They quickly became friends.
Jane was considered to be a “bad woman” because she was a mother but she wasn’t married. And of course, her baby was taken away from her before she was sent to Australia. As for Oliver, he was so poor that he had no choice but to beg in the streets. Rich people didn’t like beggars, that’s why he was transported for life.
Elizabeth and her two friends knew absolutely nothing about Australia. They couldn’t imagine it was so far away from England. In fact, it was a 250-day journey.
When they arrived in Australia, they were washed and inspected by British officers. Their names were registered.
Then, the men and women were separated and sorted out according to their skills. Most of the men worked as builders, of roads, bridges, hospitals…whereas the women had to work in clothes factory or as domestic servants to British officers.
After a few years, Elizabeth was given a pardon so she was able to open a small shop and to start her new life.

I NEVER BELIEVED THE PHENOMENON PEOPLE REFERRED TO AS THE “LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

Those rare occurrences where people, after waking from near-death experiences, would exclaim, ‘I saw the light!’ with cold sweat rolling down the sides of their faces.”

yet, here I am in this supposed "tunnel".

But how did it die?

the last thing remember

I was alone in my room

looking at the city from above

after that

My body felt heavy as I laid down on my bed.

Was I poisoned?

Was I assasinate?

Think, Grey.

there were too many that wanted me dead.

after all,

I was a king
