They couldn't have gotten far." ‎ The sound of running feet on the plank overhead bellowed in our hearts like a drunkard violently ramming unto the door of a house that wasn't his. ‎ ‎ We tried as much as possible to silence our heavy breathing so the burglars won't notice us but it was a tight space and my sister was asthmatic. I knew she was this close to flaring up. In spite of that, she held me close to her and glanced at me constantly to make sure I was okay. ‎ I wasn't. ‎ Our parents had just been blown to smithereens in the head by a shotgun, few minutes after they had opened the door to a group of people who needed their attention.
