The Locket of Truth

I was a bookworm and a history buff, so reading about the past made me wish to live then. “I was born too late,” I used to tell my mom. Reading also allowed me to escape the present day mess our world was in socially, politically, technologically. In books masks were for parties or thieves; sickness was cured; wars brought about peace. For me the present was a nightmare.
