The sun shines into the cracks of my bedroom window.I slowly start to think of the past when I was younger and dad use to wake me up with a kiss each morning. I remember like it was yesterday his soft hands holding my tiny fingers ever so gently but now I realise that's nothing but a memory and dad's long gone. I hold back my tears not just for me but for the sake of the younger ones. Kerri and James my brother and sister I just can't let them see me this way. The last words dad sayed to me was to be strong not just for me but also for the sake of my siblings before I watched him being taken dragged away after he hid us beneath the floor of our now broken down house.I realised things have changed so much since I was forced to grow up and take charge.The day my life completely change was the most horrible day of my life. The loud sirens and screams was so horrid and vivid to my ears and imagination I was so afraid. The world was being broken down before my very eyes in a mather of hours.The air was very congested with smoke and we saw people die in front of our very eyes. The funny thing was it was the very system that was suppose to protects instead they kill us with new weapons never before seen killing hundreds of people with one pull of a lever. It was no help to call on because the dear people we taught where suppose to keep us safe ended up being there just to bring pain and death. So much evil I remember and I don't think I can ever forget what I seen that day. I snap from my thoughts at the sound of a bomb. So i leap up quickly to take my brother and sister to safest part of our run down house which was the basementMy sister at the age of 10 and brother who just turned 8 starts to shakefrieght. I turn to the two of them with a uncertain look in my eye and stare deep into their eyes with a reassurance that I won't let anyone hurt them.I hug both of them tightly has they cringe at the sounds of mercy and pleading of crys outside of our boarded house. I know I have to go outside soon. My sister needs her insulin I will have to find a already looted store close by even if it means risking my life. Its either risking my life or not upholding what I promise my father which is to keep my siblings alive. I just sit there with my hands holding the only two important people I got close to me which is left in this sick world.
