two days from my life
red sky , full of smoke and fire that's how it was when i woke up at dawn, i was shoked and cimfused because of what i saw. i was up stairs so i went down stairs , i saw all of my family in the kitchen except my brother . the funny thing is in spite of that noize my brother was sleeping . when i heard the sound of explosions i asked my mom " is that the thunder sound " my mom answered me " no hunny the war began " our house was among baghdad airport and saddam's palace, so every battle happened in baghdad , we witnessed it. when the american's bombs hit a position , our house was shaking like a piece of paper that was the first night of the war before the day of occupying baghdad , saddam hussain was in our hood , he was teachin the guys how to use weapons and the day after that i woke up at 12 pm to hear that one American robo track besieged our hood we didn't believe that ,out of blue, a 10 years old kid entered our home and he was out of breath from fear he was shouting "it's an American track" that was the worst surprise because all the people in the hood thought that it was and Iraqi one. After 30 min. we were in the street, my cousin ran into something on the floor, it turn out it was an Iraqi soldier who had bad injury by the U.S.A. track, we brought him to our house and put him in the kitchen where we were sitting. he had a really bad injury, I swear to god I could see the bone of his leg. After 2 hours we managed to take him to the hospital. After 2 months. he came and I was so happy to know he was alive, he told us what happened "I and my friend were going to set a trap to the track, it turn out that the track do it to us . so the car we were on damaged and i don't remember just i saw your cousin and said help me and fell down on the floor but after i saw my friend who was alive , he told me that he went to the hospital and sent an embilance for me and the driver was a nurse . even that ,the embilance got hit by track's missile and the nurse died". he completed this sentences and started to thank us for saving his life. even i was happy , i felt sorry for him because his leg was cut off . he was so brave because in that time we had short in medicin so the doctor cut his leg with out ny painkilling drugs . the name of that brave man is Moneer. i wish someday i could see him again .
