Boom!
I heard a gunshot!!!! I wake up. I look over, I see my mom, she’s rolling on the floor. I see a man.
Wait!! I was asleep. It was all a dream; I am sitting safe in school. School has always been my
safe place…
A few months later…
Clack Boom!! Wait? Is my safe place now a shooting place?? Is it him, the man I told on? Can
it be the man coming for me? Wait!! It’s not him!! It was just a random shot. I ran to another
place that was safe for me for two months. Just to be forced back… Now, I cry in the corner all
the time and watch my mom pay the price for me snitching and leaving.
I love you, Mommy.
