Heart Shaped Locket

I inherited nothing from all my family gone, but this beat up and half-broken heart shaped locket. Not surprising, because I hadn’t counted on anything from them. They cast me out when I was young, at 12 going on 13. Fortunate for me there were plenty of gigs for someone with such a small frame, working along the docks then. It was a gamble to keep my limbs and fingers, but I was quick enough to get through on a dime or two until a hover ship cast me aboard and I got out of this depraved pit, which no one fondly refers to as Megalopoly.
