JACOB sat nervously at the end of his bed, thinking sadly about his mother and how much he misses her. Getting up from his bed, Jacob slowly stumbles over to his big brow desk, wondering whether he should write to his mother or not. BANG, WOOSH, CRASH……… Three brownish coloured bullets fly right through the opening of Jacobs’s window and painfully skim the top of his left ear. Jacob falls to the ground in pain, clutching his bleeding ear. Four neatly dressed soldiers with guns the size of his arm enter the room, crushing everything in their path. Jacob tries to hide from the men, but is seen before he even has a chance.

“STAND”, Yells one of the men.

Jacob stands, interestingly enough. The same man that forced him to come to his feet watches as the other soldiers roughly carry him out of his white painted house.

WHACK, a man that he has never seen before swings the end of his rifle into Jacobs temple. He is knocked out. Stars start to spin in his mind, not like the ones you see in cartoons, real stars, stars that are in the sky. Then everything goes blank and his mind stops.

Ahhhhh my head, thinks Jacob as he feels the bumps, the bumps of the road vibrating up through the hard suspension.

“Jacob, calls a voice, “Jacob are you awake?’.

“Mum?!, is that you?”.

“No, says the women, I’m not your mother, she has been sadly killed in the war, it started in Afghanistan and that’s where she lives, now its just progressing through the whole of the world, I think we may have a world war III”.

“World war….”

The lady puts her soft hand over his mouth, to silence him.

“Don’t say a word”, exclaims the women.

At the back of the car, a door creaks open and out step 2 soldier.

“Everybody down”, Scream the soldiers.

One of the men loads his gun, then the rest of the soldiers load, then they fire, killing every, child, women, and man that they had kidnapped. Leaving Jacob alone with the dead bodies. Did they do this on purpose, or did they simply just miss? The men let their guns dangle from their shoulders and they leave.

The stench of dead people is horrific; you can still smell the smoke that came from their guns when fired.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM……………Four land mines go off underneath the car. Only one of them penetrating, killing the soldiers and sadly the terrified soul of Jacob.
