*Written some time ago, but with tear marks (*) spotting the parchment every so often.*
I know that if I write this, potential enemies may use it against me. Then again, I'm probably getting paranoid. Several years have passed since I got into this Gaia place, yet I have not seen any intelligent life since the barrier. However, I must put down what I remember of my mortal family, lest I forget and sink down to barbarism, or even worse, degenerate into the cruel, evil, warlocks that I've read about in my homeland.
I'll start off with my house. It was in the place called Florida, which was in the country, the United States of America, part of the North America continent. It was not very far inland, but still quite a bit aways from the ocean. There, I lived with my grandmother (on my father's side), father, mother, 4 younger siblings, and a multitude of pets. My grandmother had a small apartment within our house - it was a remodeled 2-3 car garage. Our other garage was too filled with stuff and the lawn mower for our vehicles to be put in it.
My grandmother was a bit short, and had back problems that had over-curved her spine. I forget the name of her condition, but at least she's in a better place now...**
My father and mother lived on one side of the house, with my brothers and sisters and I on the other side. My father was a little over 6 feet tall, and my mother was about 5 1/2 feet. Both of my parents had black/very dark brown hair, although my grandmother's was gray and white, and my dad's hair was turning gray. I had brown hair back then, and so did my sisters. My two brothers each had blond hair. However, I had dark brown hair, as did my eldest younger sister, whereas the youngest sibling (and sister) had brown"-ish"-blond"-ish" hair. My brothers had dirty blond hair.
My siblings were in 10th, 5th, 3rd, and 2nd grades. Since Florida has a school system where elementary went up to 5th grade, only my eldest younger sister was out of elementary school, and in high school. My brothers were in the middle of my two sisters. I...can almost see them now...*
My pets are long dead by now I presume, even though I think they escaped the fire. Anyways, back then, we had a dog, 1/2 Black Labrador, and a mixture of others for her sire, predominately golden retriever. We also had two cats that we adopted, both as strays. One was a tortoise-shell (black with varied-color spots) and the other was a tabby (blond with a few orange"-ish" spots/stripes). However, we perceived and adopted the tabby after the black cat. We thought the black cat was a former Christmas present, since she was electronically tagged...but she was not registered. We (offically) named her "Christmas Meow", since plain "Meow" was already taken. The tabby, we named "Panther". However, both names were kind of misnomers, since Meow was panther-like and stalked (and killed) various animals, leaving head-less squirrel bodies on the front door-mat sometimes. Panther, on the other hand, was a lazy cat and meowed loudly whenever he was hungry. Also, Meow often didn't finish her meals and instead went to hunt. However, we didn't need to clean her bowl - Panther licked it clean for us. It's strange how glad these memories make you happy, yet at the same time sad...*
We had a bunch of fish in a fish tank, along with a crayfish and an algae eater. I never bothered to learn their proper names, except that we had 2 fish, an Angelfish and another fish, that would strenously object to our putting in any new fish. They "objected" by killing and eating any new fish. -_-
That's all I can remember off the top of my head, and this should keep me from forgetting them...I hope I can keep up my morals and ethics...*
