CHAPTER SEVEN

Ada’s Dream

All the houses in our neighbourhood were bombed. There were explosions around us. People were running and screaming and there was blood everywhere. Our house was on fire. I ran outside. Grandma and Grandpa were there, smiling and waving at me. They leaned forward to hug me. I got very scared. How could they be there when they were dead? I wanted to run back to the house but it was all in flames. I just couldn’t decide if fire was more dangerous than dead people. Even though I knew who they were.
