If I just don’t move, no one will see me
“ I remember running, then I heardthe sound of the plane firing.
I don’t remember hearing the plane coming at all.I just remember the sound of the bullets.
Next thing I know I’m twitching on the ground.. I thought for a second that I might have been hit.
I didn’t dare move. I think I even stopped breathingbut I know that’s not possible.
Nothing.… just nothing. It seemed like forever.
Next thing I WOKE UP to the silence,like it was an actual sound.
It felt very strange. I was shivering and shaking.I have no idea how long I was lying there.”
