Tommy thought -
Brace yourself; Take Cover.
It's going to be loud,
so cover your ears and
close your eyes
and pretend you're somewhere else.
I feel like I'm in hell...
That's just the nature of the place;
I can hear them coming
Firing in all directions
How long till they're aimed at me?
I want to go home...
The enemy is all around me
Searching.
Hunting.
Don't let them see me...
Too late.
They're coming over here
weapons drawn...
I can't think.
I'm scared.
I can't take this.
Please help me.
Tears stream from my eyes; hatred streams from theirs.
The leader fires his weapon
And hits me in the heart.
Words. Armed with sticks and stones.
School is the worst...
