Scenes From A Rural Orphanage

As these five miserable orphans prepare to split between them the meager treats from a token DCF Easter basket, they dream of an Easter that might never come. An Easter where parched brown grass is carefully watered for weeks to prepare a soft, lush green expanse of lawn for young egg-hunting feet. An Easter where the table groans with a meal lovingly prepared for their delectation. An Easter where candy and new clothes rain down on them like a sweet April shower.
An Easter where at least one person on this planet loves them.

They're so cute when they're little.

Then they grow up and break your heart......

That is the general consensus.
