the day things changed

Hassan sits on a chair and looks out of the window thinking what will happen when the war comes to his home. He gets a rush of fear and feels a silent panic. The teacher hears bullets and she yells “everyone leave the building and go to safety”

As everyone panics Hassan runs to the door to leave. Hassan opens the door and sees many soldiers shooting at innocent people as they scream. Hassan hears a bullet and screams still running

Hassan bolts out at full speed and looks around and sees many of his classmates running and some falling to the ground paralyzed by fear

He sees a familiar face, it is his sister Abuk. Hassan gets a rush of hope when he sees her he says”Abuk! You came are you here for me” he asks, surprised to see her. Abuk says” yes . We will go to the Ethiopia refugee camp.

They walk for many days until they arrive at the Nile river they see a bird they know there is food and they can stay for sometime.They hunt 2 birds and start a fire as the bird roasts they see splashes in the water as Hassan runs and Abuk yells “ help him “ as Hassan grabs it he sees a crocodile it bite his arm and he pulls as his arm falls off blood splashes as he screams and asks for help Abuk cleans the wound

They get close to the dessert as Hassan grows weak. Abukbv must hold him as they get close to a tree they rest for a short while as they keep their senses sharp as they get up they see a soldier walking and get scared and run. As their lives flash. Bang! Bang! Abuk drops to the ground blood pools around her Hassan looks and she says “uhibuk ya 'akhi.(I love you, my brother).

Hassan carries Abuk's dying body to a tree and runs off and hides as he walks he gets weaker adrenaline pumping he sees his sister as he feels him descending into madness as he screams “Help Me!.No one is there to help him as he crawls

When Hassan gets many miles close to Ethiopia .He hears a bullet and a soldier screaming and Hassan picks up the gun in the sand and shoots them and he runs off to and hides out of guilt for what he did A bullet passes through his head and his memories flash before him as he thinks “I've gotten so far and its for nothing I should've done more in my life

he bleeds out and sees a bright light
