William ebony
where did i come from:
My name is William Ebony. One month ago, in 1687, I was arrested for stealing and murder. I lived in London with my mum and my little sister. After my mum died, I was responsible for my 8-year-old sister. But soon Annabelle got incredibly ill and she needed medicine but we were starving. I didn’t have any money, so I was desperate enough to steal some food from the local vendor. The owner of the vendor caught me and tried to shoot me. After struggling in a fight with him, the gun went off and killed the vendor. I was arrested by the coppers and taken to prison. I never saw my sister again and I do not know what her fate was.
