i was up late at night, as I stood in my living room, blocking the door way with my father. It was eerie and dark as I tried to keep my family safe in this wreck of an impoverished neighborhood. I had read of this but I never thought it would happen to me. Screaming came from families as I my eyes widened in terror. They had been taken like I was going to be in just a few minutes. I couldn't bear to hear these terrible sounds. The loud banging soon came at the front door as I tried to stay strong, even if this might be my end. My mother screaming, shaking, and crying in a corner, unable to process the fact that she would be separated from her children. My dad holding the door shut with me before it was opened forcefully and we fell back. It didn't take long for them to infiltrate my house without a regret in their mind. Brainwashed they were! My dad was taken first while my mom held my little sister tightly. My mother and sister were dragged, never to be seen again, as my mother shouted my name. "I love you, Danny" I heard her yell as I sat there uselessly. I stayed there in utter shock as i leaned against the wall. I wanted to help them but i couldn't risk both of our lives with a stupid mistake. Then it was my turn to go. They shouted threatening words in a language I did not understand. Soon they found me as I was practically dragged out of the closet mercilessly. I was taken with my father. My mother and sister were nowhere to be found. I hung my head and stayed silent. Will this be the last of me?
