If is for children, If is for children building daydreams
Sherry heard a few times that the last time a 'Sherry Birkin' was part of the community, things were different for her. Her father had turned into something like what her mother had ended up as. A zombie outbreak had almost killed her, before strangers rescued her. Her mother had died in that outbreak too, trying to stop her father...
What would she have been like, if she'd come to the community out of government custody instead of from home? Even if it wasn't the most tightknit family, both of her parents loved her. If they'd both been gone and she didn't have anyone to support her, not like her family on the island, what would she have done? What-
'If' hadn't happened. This was how things had gone for her, and this was the person she was. She didn't need to wonder about it.
