Chapter 1, March 3rd, 2024
I wake up to the sound of sirens, another bombing. A common thing here. Although all houses are now underground and well protected, you still want to go to a lower level, or in the case that your house doesn't have a lower level, go to a bunker. I hop out of bed, and see my father going up the steps to go out and fight. "Wait," I yell to my father before he can walk out. "Let me come this time, I want to help," I tell my father. "No, you'll be of more use here than up above, protecting your mother and sister," my father says. "But," I start to say, but my father just walks out the door. I always sleep in my clothes so I can be prepared for any immediate situation, I grab the pack I keep next to my bed and grab a little food. I hear the first bomb drop, and speed up. I hurry my mother and sister into out underground bunker. I can tell by the noise coming from above that it is a very powerful bombing.
