Adrenaline
Bullets passed by my head in a blur, and I had only one chance to make a run for it.
I hid behind the bushes with soldiers’ lifeless bodies nearby, a sitting duck waiting to be devoured. I took deep breaths, counted to ten, then ran and shot in the air at anything that moved.
I had to make it back to my family. My wife’s sky-blue eyes, flowing brown hair and son’s quick wit pictured in my mind, gave me the adrenaline I needed.
Chaos ensued and men started shooting, but I kept going.
I made it. Then collapsed.
