The sky was full of dark, brown, and broken clouds. Birds were returning to their nests. Suburbans started sinking down in the darkness. Thunderstorms were about to start. Dad got some raw foods to cook for his beloved family. Hunger made us solidly tired and exhausted. It was so immense that our dry eyes could not even think of taking rest and cry. Mum was very sick due to the seasonal cold and flu. My younger sister, about to be seven, looked back at me with a dry smile hoping to consume something at least at the eleventh hour of the day.

Dad started cooking, and with his happy face he tried to make us calm and understand his hardship. Several times I bowed down my face towards the ground to swallow the physical, mental, and economic crisis he had been going through.

It was almost ready. I was thinking about mum; when she would have the dinner and have the medicine to be cured. We had been missing her companion, affection, and hugs for last two weeks.

Suddenly, a speedy broken cracked sound captured our dinner environment. We got horrified! Three men with black masks and clear eyes, who were fully armed and handcuffs, approached my dad. Mum asked the reasons behind his arrest. Deaf and angry they were. They stabbed her head hard with rifle bayonets. Our screaming and heartfelt emotional cry did neither penetrate their hearts nor reach to the outer world. Dad could say something important, but his face was tightly covered including his eyes; eyes which allured us just minutes ago for our survival from the hunger.

I fainted all of a sudden.

Gusty wind leaked through the poor window and woke me up scared. Horrified I was, seeing the dead bodies of my mum and my younger sister. Tears remained inside the heart solemn-silent. No sooner had I cried for them, than some cops entered inside again. They held two of my arms very tightly, flew me out of the house, and pushed me to sit down inside their mini jail as if a terror eagle snatched an innocent floating fish and threw it from the sky to kill it. My eyes were shut as well as the mouth.
