MY EXAMPLE:

TITLE: Immaculant Motherhood

It is a wet , cold, Saturday evening in Kilmarnock; a distrusting woman enter a whiskey smelling bar in the outskirts to get a seat; she hold something dear, wrapped in a blanket, and fight through raucous people.

"Damn Gyppo": a man push the woman uncaringly hard and she turn in the air to make sure her wrapping is not injured; tired, she lay on the floor; she begin to sleep, when a gentle hand touch her shoulder, and the man attached to the hand pick her up and place her gently in a seat. After moments, she become aware and thank the kind man.

He replies: "I apologize for my kin, the whiskey gets them ... I am Luke... here is some milk for your baby"

The woman take the milk gently, so a drop does not spill; Luke smile while the woman pull back the blanket, rubbing the air, and pour milk into the blanket. Luke shake his head, giggling at his own inebriation, and ask: "Are you here to meet the father?"

"No, her father died ten months ago, beaten to death by villagers"

"People can be cruel to Romani"

"He wasn't Romani... he was a deranged beast I wish I had not encountered"

The woman put the empty bottle own and continue: "Arran... and I thank you my name is Yesenia"

"I have a spare room, you and the baby can use it"

"Thank you, if we can get it tonight, we will be invisible come sun light"
