It's the U.S, they've finally come to save them. Prisoners cry tears of joy, while Nazis scream in pain. I grab a hold of May and we run, and run until we find somewhere to rest until this settles down. I see a place nearby, and start to drag May by my side.
" we are so close to the life i've always wished for". Smiles on our faces as we make it halfway to our point. "Wait, slow down" may says . I ignore her " but we're so close", I speed up and she quickly falls. I helped her to her feet, "I'm sorry , i just wanted to hurry."
She walks ahead of me, and we walk at a slow pace". Crashes all around us, smoke and fire everywhere. " Stop. Right.There". I turn to see my father holding a gun pointed at may. " father? What are you doing here? What are you doing?" " no time for that, I cannot you go with this negro-jew". I quickly step in front of May, he fires. " No!" she shouts. " what did you do". The pin in my body slowly emerges.
I'm not even afraid, simply just sad, sad at the fact I will never see my child grow.
My father stands in disbelief, not even moving a muscle. " RUN! Run may Run". "he begins to bleed out . I make my way to the safe place we were headed". "He never disappointed me, even as he laid dying, he smiled". Reminding me of al the good times we had. He will always be remembered, as long as i have you". " Mommy, di- did he look like me". " Yes son smile and all".
