"I was sitting in the living room listening to the crackling of the radio as they gave the latest news on the war Sharna my daughter was playing In the backyard I always felt guilty not telling my dear husband jasper about her but I knew that if he was informed he had left me alone to raise his child he would come straight back and I knew that wouldn't be fair to him as going to war was his dream one that I could not take away from him.
A loud sound was heard far off in the distance the ground shook slightly panicking I yelled for Sharna to come inside the raid siren went off and the radio announcer warned of enemy soldiers being spotted heading towards the village the whole town went into a panic I could hear a few screams and I knew instantly that the soldiers had already penetrated the gates of the village
I told Sharna to stay where she was as I sprinted up the stairs the ground shook again and the air raid sirens started as well being the klutz I was I fell a fair few times in my hurry to get up the stairs to collect our most valuable possessions I grabbed money pictures and some clothes and a blanket when I came back down to find Sharna curled up in a ball my fear grew I picked her up and ran for the front door on my way out I grabbed the letters from the side table
Letters from jasper
When we got outside the sight was the most horrific I had ever seen
