A Country In Tears

My eyes whizzed from right to left. Thick smoke was emanating everywhere as I broke up in a wild run. I ran and ran blindly and stopped at a spot breathless. I stood and stared at the smoke which filled the spot where once stood a big supermarket. My eyes darted round. Soldiers and Firemen were scurrying up and down.But where is mom and Tunde? I queried myself.......... Mum! I shrilled.I felt a tap on my shoulder and swung round. Do you want to die? a soldier wearing a red helmet questioned me. Save your life and leave.
