  1. I was so happy that I was so close to seeing my family.I wanted to tell them everything.As soon as we get there the rebels were already attacking.I hide in the bushes to prevent getting cough by the rebels. The shooting killed everyone none was left.I lost my parents it was all because of that boy. If we go there faster then I would have seen my parents.The rebleschased us out and killed him. I cant take the pain anymore.

  2. Dear Journal,
    I have arrived at the village where my family has been kept. A man named Gasemu, who knew us from Matrru Jong, led us to village. When we were just a few steps away from the village, we heard gunshots and saw fire arise from the village homes. I ran, frantically looking for my family. Gasemu pointed to the house where my family stayed, and I ran straight for it looking for them, but they weren't there. I was so devastated and furious, that I smacked Gasemu in the head with a pole, and had created a fight between his friends. Then we heard the voices of the rebels and hid. The rebels heard us so we ran and Gasemu had died while saving us.

  4. Dear Journal,
    I arrived to my supposed to be family house. Where was I suppose to be reunited.I ran into the house and once I got in there I saw nobody just ashes. I was furious. I stated breaking everything. Eventually, i got so mad that I ended up killing the bachelor. The one who gave me directions to meet up with my family. I lost hope.

  5. We are walking in silence through the night until we stopped to listen to the singing of morning birds shattering the silence of the day. We were close to get to the village were our family was and we can't to give our mothers a very tight hug. We met this man name Gasemu. When we got to the village there was two people came out, a women and a young child.They were was a fire that ran up and down the village, slamming themselves against everything in their way and going back in the other direction to do the same. Gasemu was screaming our names from the other side of the village, we ran to where he was. About 20 people laying face down in the earth and blood was still pouring out their bullet wound. The rebels attack and set fires. I run to were my family was living in and it was burned down and there was sash on the ground. I lose it. I was so close to have them back. Gasemu tell us he know tell will happens and he was trying to save us. I was so mad I wanted to hurt him. We hear the rebels pasting through the village laughing and high five each others. They hear us and chase us with there gun.
