• Sleeping quietly I wake up and hear gunshots firing along with the loud bang of gernades that make my ears rattle from the inside. I call for someone to answer but there is no answer. Only the screams of terror that ring from every direction. There is no time to think and I feel lost without a clue of where to go or do. Suddenly I feel a painfull shot in my arm and force myself to run in cover beside a my demolished wall and try to hold in tears from the gunshot wound. A call from the distance tells me to come over there. Next thing I know I'm in a helicopter with U.S. soldiers. Then I go blank in my mind and slowly close my eyes.
