We knew they would eventually arrive but not this soon.They came and brought terror, fear and pain along with them and inflected horror into people. They... They were the monsters in the deepest parts of your mind.They would line up your family on the side of a river on their knees and shoot them.They would take some girls or women and rape them in front of families.
Bang!!! A bullet to the head
Bang!!! A kick into the river
Bang!!! They weren't even trying to rip through or escape the monsters... Just...just sat their waiting for their lives to be taken because they've lost hope of living, they've lost hope of people around the world helping because even though we're all equal, we're all human, we still kill each other out of greed.All around all you would hear were the Screams the screams of children witnessing their families bodies being blown into pieces.
The shouts of older sons or daughters swearing on revenge or praying for the monsters to be sent to depths of hell.And their sickening laughter a of amusement as they kill or rape families in front of children's eyes.
As they got closer to my mother and father I started to struggle in their grips-to help, to escape...to just end all if this...but their was no hope, no point in my weak attempts to save my family their grip only got stronger.
I looked at my father straight in the eyes, a broken man kneeled in front of me, a man who had no strength left to fight " Don't forget that I love you, don't give in to these bast"-BANG!!! A kick into the river...
I froze knowing his words to me would be not to give in to these bastard's , but how couldn't you? when the one person you looked up to? Your knight in shining armour who would protect you had his brain shot out right in front of you? And you had his blood and flesh splattered on you?! How could you not?!!!I looked at my fathers body which was now floating in the river of death, and my heart started aching I felt as though I couldn't breath. A tear slid down my cheek I couldn't move my eyes away from my fathers body, the movement towards my mother caused my eyes to flick to her, I looked at her too see her lifting her head to eyes that showed no emotion, a void, just a shell. Her face covered with dirt, when her eyes landed on me she tried to smile at me, a which would usually do to give me hope ... Was now just a mask...a broken mask.
"No! No! Don't, I swear to God I'll kill you! I swear to Go-"
BANG!!! Then kicked into the river
I froze and looked at the monster moving closer to my brother who had his head held high, his eyes full of sorrow and pain, but a smirk of bravery plastered on his face. I struggled , I struggled with all my might, with all my fucking might, but couldn't escape only rewarded by a smack I looked into the monsters eyes who leaned down. He harshly pulled my chin up and made me look at him, amusement in his eyes so I spat at his face earning me another slap and a bloody lip I saw movement behind the monster and the man was raising his gun pointing it at my brothers head we both humorously smirked as we nodded our heads at each other...BANG!I looked at the blood and flesh of my family that covered me, I looked at the spot my parents an brother were just minuets ago and just stared, this had to be a nightmare, I started to laugh, I started to laugh so hard,it was as though something snapped within me the pain of losing my family catching up with me. As I laughed I felt my tears rolling down my face I threw my head back hearing a crack causing his grip to loosen for a minuet and grabbed the gun on his side and aimed it at him and shot him with no emotion just hatred I turned my head to see one of them raping a girl I knew we had went to school together and shot him twice while a cold emotionless smile started to stretch on my face with tears still streaming down my face -BANG!!!
Just as I turned to move I felt a bullet enter my leg causing me to kneel on one leg but my emotionless smile didn't waver I wasn't going down with ought a fight I turned to se the monster that had shot me was the one that had shot my mother and father and brother had laughed, my anger started to boil even more causing me to stand again the numbness of my body restricting me from feeling pain, I looked at the men with a sickening smile and watch him take a double take and said "why so scared? why not come and rape me or shoot me too?why?! Why keep me alive?! Why do this to my people?!What the fuck did we ever do to you?!" I then started to laugh a humourless laugh as the man started to raise his gun "you are the one who killed my family, tortured and killed my people, so if I'm going to die I might as well take at least another few of you monsters down with me"
A group of monsters had circled me my people watching me with proud eyes "her biji Kurdistan!" One shouted a boy around my age and the rest of my people who were all my age joined, chanting in our mother language.
As the monsters surrounded me, and the first shot was fired and hit me in the shoulder to which just I laughed at He started to shoot as did the rest of the monsters, as I shot him and I tried to shoot others and bring them down with me too.We both fell at the same time, him with a pain and fear stricken face landing and facing me while I felt my life spilling out of my bullet filled body...I was smiling as the tears flowed ...
The tears of grief and pain for my dead family and people but also tears of determination and hope for my people because I believe in my people, I believe that they will fight their way through this hell and save the last standing Kurdish town of Syria ...Kobane.....And as I whispered my last words "her biji Kobane hamji Kurdistan" (long live kobane and Kurdistan)BANG!!!...........
