I looked down at my hands and the red liquid to cover them. Blood but it wasn't mine. Then looked up the loud 'bang'still ringing in my ears. On the ground like my dead mother.
"Get up girl now!" A load raspy voice screamed at me.
I didn't move I couldn't move. Loud crack flew through the air. my backstung it felt as if lightning bolts were being shot at my back.
The next thing I know I'm being dragged by my hair out of the tiny three room house my mother and I used to live in, but now it looks more like a little rundown shack with escaping holes in the roof, the shadowed windows, and the kick down the door when it's rusty hinges.
" there is nothing useful in that darn shack," The man dragging me said to one of the other men." The woman's dead but this little rat can probably do some work." with that he threw me to the ground sharp rocks stabbing and my knees and hands.
I tried my best to scramble to my feet but the pain was unbearable. I frantically looked around me the burning buildings giving light to the night sky. I saw our neighbors being dragged out of their house. I heard the screams and cries of pain the pleas to spar their lives, and the gunshots.
Big men in bulky military armor search through the houses for anything of value.
I looked back at my own home I saw three men drenching it was some sort of liquid the sent burning my nose. One of them ran inside and poured it on the bed, the old rug, and anything and everything. Another one was drenching the sides of our house and the roof. The one inside ran out and the other one stopped pouring the liquid on the walls. The third one took out a small box from his pocket and took a small little stick out of the box and struck it lighting a small flame. Then he threw it in the house through one of the broken windows in no time our small little house is just one big flame.
"No!" I screamed. I got my feet and tried to run to the burning house. I felt a strong hand on my upper arm holding me back. I tried to fight him off but my strength quickly disappeared.
I fell to my knees watching my burning house.
