Soccer ball There once was a man by the nickname of "Z" from the country of Jordan. As a child, his life revolved around the game of soccer. Every day after school he would go to the park with his friends where they would practice for hours on end. He joined a club and excelled at the game. As he got older his games got more and more serious and he believed he could make a career out of his passion playing soccer professionally. His dreams were coming to reality when he was offered a scholarship to play for a small university in the small state of Oklahoma. This was exactly what he had been waiting for.

I get that she wanted to kill her so I’m sure ripping her heart out would do the trick but then to eat her daughters heart and liver is to much. Why did she wanna kill her daughter to being with like its her kid and she’s jealous of her for being prettier. Makes no sense to me man.
