Underworld Livestream: I Play a Corpse as an Extra

I became a stand-in actor, playing a prisoner who was poisoned to death. Tomorrow, I was supposed to board a ship with the film crew.

The prisoners taking part were everyone from our orphanage, though there were only seven of us. I was number seven, known as Little Seven.

But I wasn't an orphan. I had a frail, elderly mother.

A few years ago, the villagers would tease us whenever they saw us, calling our home a garbage dump and us the people who crawled out of it.

My mother kept me alive by scavenging trash. The food and water we had were leftovers people dumped at the garbage site.

A few years later, the villagers no longer dared call our home a garbage dump. Instead, they kept their distance. The garbage dump had become a crematorium.
