It was another bright morning in Holmes, Syria. Lynasa wokeup put on her new sparkly blue hijab and ran downstairs. Her father said "rise and shine pumpkin" and the smell of fried potatoes sifted through the house. Mamma was upstairs getting ready to go downtown to the market with Lynasa. Lynasa got a plate and put the fried potatoes onto her plate. She sat down and began eating it as she watched her favorite show Yu & Mei on T.V. Mother came downstairs in her niqab with a crown made of flowers around her head. "Are you ready pumpkin" Said Mamma. "Yes" Said Lynasa. They opened the burlwood door and walked up to the Hundai, Sante Fe. They got into the car and began driving to the Outdoor Bazaar/Market. They pulled up and stepped out of the car. Exotic fruits from all over the world gave off pleasent aroma's. That's When 'boom boom' The ground began to shake Market stalls crashed to the floor. Hundreds of soldiers came marching down the road with machine guns in their hands they shot anything in there way. Everyone began to scream and fleed in every direction. Then Boom a boom sailed through the stall and killed momma. Lynasa screamed and began to cry up a river. She dragged the mother out from under the debris were the soldiers couldnt see her. Everyone had fleed and it was so quite u could hear a pin drop. She tried shaking mother but she didnt move an inch. She put momma inside the car and sat in the drivers seat. She put the key in and startsd the ignition. She drove home at 60 MPH. She yelled for dad and he ran outside when he saw his dead wife he screamed and began to cry. "Soldiers came and blew her up" Said Lynasa in the middle of tears. "We must get her to a hospital" Said dad.
