http:// ed for a long time. For such a young country it has had an unnatural great among of very bloody wars and massacres; maybe because if such a divided country shall ever survive it constantly needs an enemy; any enemy and I had no desire to stay and find Charles and me being labelled as such. So after Charles had fully recovered we moved to the East and due to the founds left by both our parents we never lack anything and have a great home where we live together.

At times I wonder if I could have done more to help my people, to prevent the dark future we're heading towards. Another future were hate and prejudice rules the world but then I look at Charles and I see that we were actually lucky; he 'only' lost the use of his legs. Had we continued, had he continued, we would both end up dead and I don't want him to die and I don't want to die now where I have finally found love and a sense of peace.

No, this is the way things were meant to be. We can't save the world from itself. Only they can change its fate and they don't want to. I'll stay with Charles in our own little Paradise of love and close out the world. One day the hate will find us and destroy us but when that day comes I pray we're both long dead and buried because I won't go back to being a prisoner and having another number tattooed into my arm. I would rather die than live like that. Their hate will not hold me prisoner ever again and I'll make sure they won't get Charles either. We'll be together in life……or death if needs be. We've done nothing wrong yet we are the ones who'll get punished by their blindness.

I wonder if they'll ever open their mind and see? Or do they really have to destroy the entire world one more time before they see that we're not the enemy they fear; they are. The enemy they fight…….are themselves and their own fear and hate.
