The screams. Sometimes it felt like he would never be free of their screams. The air was thick with smoke- thick enough to choke him, thick enough that he couldn't see anything. The smell of burning and blood and rotting flesh met his nose and nearly suffocated him- his heart was pounding and his body ached, trying desperately to catch his breath, to find any pocket of clear air. His hands covered his ears, trying to muffle the sound of the screams and the cries, the low buzz of planes as they flew overhead, the whistle of bombs as they were dropped. He tried to run, boots sinking into wet sand as he stumbled through piles of bodies, tripping over them as he searched for something- somewhere that he could be safe. He ran and he ran and he ran, not knowing how much more he could take of the cries for help, the screams, the hands at his ankles as he passed- he felt so hopeless, like he couldn't do anything but run. Always running, always searching, and nothing he did ever seemed to be enough. |
