Love's Little Whispers

A Scottish baby born to a mother who did not want him.
A streetful of women so strong in their religious beliefs they took umbrage at a married a woman who became pregnant by her neighbour's husband that they stoned her on the way to the market after which the police intervened. She gave birth to the baby three months later in the child's father's mother's Third-Floor apartment. However, life was difficult for her as the women of the street spat at her if she dared venture out, and her keeper, the child's father's mother was a devoutly religious woman who lived her life in the fire and brimstone style.
Her child at twenty months old was pushed out of the third-floor window by his young cousin and spent two months in the hospital. On the child's release from the hospital, his mother and her lover left the city for life in the country where nobody knew them. However she took her baby blues to a whole new level, and her child became her tormentor, or as she called him, her child from hell, who at the least provocation she would beat unmercifully.
Local boys did not like the child, and it was not long before they attacked the slightly slow child that sentenced him to a childhood spent mostly in a hospital.
