"Mum, Dad where are you!!!!" I screamed out to my parents, trying to find them in our dark house. It was war zone outside.
It was the 19th of February 1942 and Darwin was currently being bombed by the Japanese.
"Mum, Dad please!!!!"
The next thing I knew was that there were gun shots hitting the side of our house. I ran towards the kitchen bumping into walls and chairs as I tried to pull the carpet away form the door in the floor that led to the basement. After pulling and tugging, I finally pulled the mat away and pushed open the door.
"Bye Mum, Bye Dad, be safe. I love you!!"
I yelled one final time into the dark house as I ducked in to the hole, I pulled the rug over and tugged the door shut.
