On a snowy night a little girl stayed out late. She did so everytime her parents got into an argument,they were poor and she was unhappy,life was cruel on Emily.Her father would always send her out to sell candles, whether it was raining, snowing or even very sunny.She yearned for the times when her grandmother was alive, when her grandmother would take care of her and make her hot chocolate and cookies close to the fire on winter nights. But ever since her grandmother died, she was forced to sell candles.
After her parents argument each night,her father would send her to sell candles in the street. Every night she would go to an ally and set up a small stall to sell her candles,she made very little not enough for a meal. She took the little money she made to her father, she knew that if she brought little money her father would beat her, but she had no choice it was freezing outside. Emily was fully prepared to get beaten and to be starved that night by her parents but they had something else in mind, they told her to spend the rest of the night in the alley selling candles and shouldn't return until she sold all of them. Emily cried and begged her parents but they wouldn't listen.
She was dragged out by her father and tossed into the alley to sell candles. Emily cried and prayed to God to end her suffering, until eventually passing out due to cold ❄️. She was woken up by a slight sound of movement,when she opened her eyes she realized some boys were trying to steal her candles. She screamed and tried to stop them calling out for help but no one came to her aid. Emily continued to struggle with one of the boy's until eventually he pulled out a knife and cut Emily's hand. She screamed,crying in pain then the boys ran away with all of her candles .
Emily laid in the snow crying, blood gushing out of her hand, she thought to herself, is this the end,then a ray of light from above shone on her and in that bright light she say her grandma calling out to her.In the blink of an eye she found herself in a room next to a warm fire with cookies and hot chocolate and in her grandmothers embrace. For the first time in two years she was happy.
The next morning, people passing by saw a young girl covered in blood smiling, she was dead. Her parents came later that day, not to take Emily's dead body but to take the money she had made that night. She was left there in the snow.
