curfew in the story of Cinderella. One day, I walked in to my room and noticed that the mountain has disappeared. All dryer sheets are gone. The princess dress of my dream is gone. Something that I value the most is gone. My nanny threw them away, thinking that I am too lazy to clean up the mess. I sobbed as I stared at the blue trash bin outside of my house. I hated when my nanny and parents ignored what I like. I happen to like what they considered to be trash. I like trash bin. It contains numerous stories of people, including their secrets.
