      Chapter 1

      June, 1974

      The Glow family were similar to any typical family living on a rough council estate in the city of Manchester. They were unemployed, had little money and overall, were experiencing an economic depression. During this time, many people turned to alcohol, and nobody cared about anybody else ,but themselves and their own families. Times were hard, and many did not see a way out of it. Nobody knew if they were ever going to experience happiness again. The country was in such a terrible state at this time, and that was that.

      Ian Glow was like any other child going through these times: eight years of age, and often had little to eat outside of school hours and loved to make people laugh. He had no idea of the situation the country was in, as he was too young to understand, and was too occupied with his own childhood to even try to. He had grown up in one house on a council estate, as did his elder sister (Hannah, 17) and brother (Ernest, 6).

      Ernest was known as a geek. In typical nerd fashion, wore square glasses, and had two teeth at the front of his mouth that stuck out. He was always in the background, a perfect target for bullies, and Ian could not do anything but sit back and watch, as he was powerless against them. Ernest did not fit in at all with the rest of the family; he was too intelligent, though none of the other members of the family seemed to notice.

      Hannah, on the other hand, was a typical teenage girl, beautiful, loved talking with her friends and checking out boys, spending most of her time going out and dressing her hair.

      The night of 1984, started out like any other, quiet outside and with nobody around, nobody except the entire Glow family, excluding the one who did not bother to speak to any of them.

      Bitch, I asked for a steak pie, not a pork one! cried Trevor, the patriarch of the family.

      Do I care? asked Iris, the matriarch, drinking a large glass of wine

      You will in a moment if you don't keep your trap shut! screamed an enraged Trevor.

      The entire family watched on the sides of the living room, knowing what was about to happen next. Iris' parents, Margaret and Fred, who lived next door to the family, watched as well, not caring much, despite the fact that all three children were there. The two boys watched in fear, while Hannah paid little attention. She was too busy putting on some make-up for her night out. Iris' sister, Alison, was also there, though she and Iris did not get along.

      Here they go again! laughed Margaret.

      Fred laughed with her.

      And if you don't shut up I'll ram your head into that door! yelled Trevor.

      Don't talk to her like that! Iris cried, getting up to attack Trevor, but all she managed was a wobble since she drunk, as usual. The rest of the family had no idea where she got the alcohol from. Maybe there was a secret supplier, they thought.

      Iris half-limped over to Trevor, and as she tried to hit him, but Trevor jumped out of the way, turned on her, and punched her three times in the mouth; two of her teeth fell out, and her face turned red. She screamed for him to stop, but
