Henry shuts the door quietly, shaking his head at the boy. It was strange yes, but he was more suspicious of the circumstances of the country. Why was he getting mail from Germany? He knew of no one over there and knew that if word got put that he was getting German mail he'd be investigated. This was no place for people to be so careless because that carelessness could mean the worst things for you. This could spell trouble for everyone on the block- especially for Her. He didn't want her to get in trouble. He couldn't let anyone find out. He went to the back and started a fire hoping to get the letter burned quickly before the weekly checks came around to their block.

Meanwhile...
Two doors down a girl with golden hair was ferociously trying to scrub away her fathers latest beating. "It's not his fault. I should've made sure nothing remained for the searchers to find..." she thought. Elizabeth Faulkner was an American of German ancestry and in these times that was as dangerous as being of Japanese or Italian ancestry. Her family were very wealthy in the sense of money and material possessions. They have power. HAD power. Before the Germans abroad started the World War. Before they had friends and they had allies and they had fame. Everyone wanted to be around them and be them. Now everyone wants them gone. Their houses were checked twice a week instead of once. Simply because of who they were. Elizabeth realized that it didn't matter if they were allies to the Allied Powers- they were now enemies because of their roots and they would forever be considered enemies. She had heard of the rumors of Germans, Italians and Japs being sent to work camps have been swirling around since that fateful day in Pearl Harbor after the Japs bombed it. She feared for the lives of those men, women and children who had the misfortune of being who they were in the wrong time. They more than likely had never had a simply Anti American or pro Nazi Germany feeling but were targeted by those they called friends who had immediately grown suspicious of anyone who was different. This was why her father was so bitter. The war had taken quite the toll on her father. She couldn't blame him for his actions. Just two years ago her family was riding high on influence and wealth and everything you could dream of. Now they had nothing but a bug house filled with worthless (no one was buying from suspected German sympathizers) trinkets and no friends. Because of this foolish war she has lost everything and people stayed away from anyone who had been accused of suspected of being traitors because they cousins dare be associated with these people. She stared crying. These people used to be my friends. We used to play in the school yard during recess and study in groups in school. The disassociation began quickly. First she stopped being invited to places with her other friends, then they stopped answering her calls or calling her, then they stopped speaking to her altogether. Finally she and others who were if suspicious ancestry or families were called down to the principal office and told they could no longer attend the school. They were told their presence distracted the other students. They were told they scared the other students. She cried and cried until no tears would fall. Everything was gone just like that and who knew when they'd be able to pick up the pieces and start anew.
I wish this war had never started. I wish people would just accept everyone. It was a wish she knew to be too foolish to ever come true. The war had brought destruction and things said and done couldn't be taken back.* she thought. Her entire life had been destroyed in just a few short months.
