Survival
The bombs are exploding, but I don’t look back. My son is screaming, so I grab hold of his hand tightly and run.
Bullets riddle around us and people collapse to the ground. 'Keep going' my mind tells me and I do just that. The boat isn’t far, we just need to make it to the border.
“Hurry,” I say to George as he looks at me wide-eyed in fear. “There’s the boat he promised us. Quickly, get in.”
The rower says nothing as he helps us. His expression is of despair and loss.
We are the fortunate who survived.
