The stuff of legends

Epilogue

I could feel my mother  shaking my shoulder to wake me up I yawned and stretched and smiled, she dressed me in a pink frilly dress with my light blonde hair in two pig tails at each side of my head.  I held her hand walking down the stairs of our home my white shoes gently tapping on the wood. I could hear daddy's news paper crinkling and crackling, today was a Saturday and they had promised to take me to the park near our house. We ate breakfast and then walked there mom on my one side and daddy on the other. 

I remember playing in the sand and smiling at my mother she was brunette and she was beautiful , daddy was standing over us and smiling people always had told me I looked like my mother but I had my fathers blonde hair and violet eyes. All was quiet birds chirped and the leaves rustled and shook, we were happy.

Then the ground shook and rumble and I was scared a BOOM sounded down the street followed by another and another in a long line, my father grabbed me and mother and we ran not knowing where to go then another blast knocked us down and all was black and quiet. A ringing in my ear and my leg hurt and I had a head ache . Mother and father rested not far from me , I crawled over to them they had red spilled on their clothes . 

"Mommy?" I shouted with no reply I shook her shoulder "MOMMY" I shook her harder with no reply. Then they came the men and women, some were cleaning up others were looking at the people that were on the street and in the park. I wouldn't leave them mommy and daddy they were just sleeping by now tears were streaming down my plump cheeks. The men and women called to me and tried to get me away from them but I threw a fit and started to kick and scream as they pulled me away from them.   Someone please help. Then I blacked out.
