Running. I run in the ruins of my house, the house is no longer a house, it is nothing.
I run and keep on running, thorugh the smoke and throught the ashes.
I ignore the bleeding and splinters, I just run.
I open my mouth, ready to scream, but no sound comes out. I just run.
I finally stop and dig thoughr the scraps of wood and pieces of cement wall. I find a gap and pick up the limp body. I drop the body, knowing what happened. It was too late. I was too late.
I close my eyes and sit down. I wipe ash from my eyes. But I feel water coming out. I cover the dead body. Jem was dead. Dead. So was everone else. I was alone. Nobody was there to help me, or hug me to make me feel better. And this was all one person's fault. Clem.
Interesting, when will this book come out?
