It was a dark stormy night outside while inside the house was nice and cozy. Somewhere in China lived Fa and her young 12-year old son, Zhou.

They were sitting in the kitchen, they all were in deep silence. They were waiting for Zhou's father, Bingwin to come back from the war. He was a solider in the army. Today, he had to go to war and he promised his family that he would come back later in the night. Now the nighttime had fallen, and, he hadn't yet appeared back home. The mother and son worried, but, they decided not to say anything in case if he had came back home late.

After an hour of waiting in silence, Fa heard a knock on the door. Before running and opening to see who it was, she quickly took one look at her son. He was sitting at the table giving his mom, a sad look, and she gives a sad look back to him.

She turned and faced the door, running towards, She opened it,and soldiers stepped towards he.

Fa had recognized them, they were her husband's friends Huan and .Both had sad looks on their faces in the background Zhou wanted to take a peak through the opening part of the kitchen to where the scene with his mother and his father's friends were taking place

"I'm sorry Fa..."

Lei sadly Fa began to look at him straight in the eye when Lei had apologized

"What happened Lei is everything okay?",she asked.

Lei and Haun took one glance at each other before turning their faces back to Fa

"He-he died..."and Lei Fa.

Her eyes widened widely in uncleshock.Zhou couldn't believe it either what he had just heard it was too much for him to handle as tears began to stream down from his eyes

"No!",he shouted as he ran straight to his room.

They got the attention from Fa,Lei and Huan. Their eyes followed him as he ran to his room.

.Once when Zhou got to his room he closed the door and hopped on his bed sobbing this was the worst thing that ever happened to him.
