Septuplets of Fortune
The article today is more of a warm-hearted article, describing the birth of seven children on Saturday night. The reporter describes the Aubrey septuplets, born to Stephanie and Fox Aubrey, seven healthy and happy baby boys born to the seventh son of a seventh son. The article goes on to say that several City mystics have stated that this phenomenon points to the coming of a new era - the mystics believe that the seventh child may be the one to bring about peace to the world. They claim that in seven years this seventh child could be the saving grace of the City. Could this child be the one that manages to remove the Pull from the City and sets everyone free?
The reporter completes the article with a comment that the Aubrey family has been provided with special housing and care, with special funding from the people of the City due to the unique circumstances of their childrens' birth.
