Challenge
”Mommy, what if they
see us?” the small child's feet hovering over the autumn leaves.
Syria.
"Mommy, what if they see us?” asked Razia, while hiding in a shady basement.
“As long as I’m here, nothing will ever happen to you’, assured mother with tears in her eyes because she knew it was far from the truth.
Suddenly, they heard a loud noise and saw something falling from the sky.
“Forgive me, god, for I lied to my daughter, but please save us today”, she whispered to herself.
“Do you see that mommy? What is that!!!”, asked the innocent and unaware daughter.
“One day, I will tell you all about Syria”, said the mother as she put a hand on her daughter’s eyes just before closing her own.
