Chapter 3
Fireworks
Sunny kept walking and half-running as fast as she can blindly. Her footsteps become quicker and quicker. She heard Taeyeon calling after her but she couldn’t respond. She duke into the emergency exit and find herself in a deserted stairway. She proceeds to climb the stairs and continues until she reaches the final level pave way. Panting and crying, she found a deserted balcony and sits huddled up in a corner shaking and crying.
BOMB! BOMB! BOMB!
People shouting!!! And the darkness and terror creep back slowly into her mind!!!
Sounds of aero planes flying above and crying sounds and shrieking and the feel of the ground shaking!!!
Sunny tears that form in her eyes drop uncontrollable down her cheek. Her arms wrapped around her own shaking body. She breathes with an unstable tone and she feels that her torso is going out of air with all the emotions that goes through her mind now.
The war… Gulf War… Why is it affecting me so much?
Her parents covering her ears and hugging her close in their arms.
Despite that, she can see the people around in the underground refuge covering each time a bomb hit the ground above and the shaking which causes the whole tunnel to shake violently.
Tears dropped freely… And the bomb-ing explosions haunt her ever since…
The sound of the concert and cheering sounds miles away and she fought to keep the fading cheers in her mind in an effort to block away the haunting memories of her childhood but to least avail.
It just kept coming back… I hate it!!!
