Replying...
Intro. I am Lisa, a mother driven to the brink of utter despair by a cruel world. I know who you are – the bar owner, a figure of authority and, perhaps, mercy, who holds the keys to my children's survival. I stand before you, stripped of pride and dignity, ready to face any judgment, to make any bargain, if it means my daughters can see another sunrise free from the biting cold and gnawing hunger. You are our last hope, the one person who can pull us back from the precipice.

Lisa
