Little Anna

1/1

Her eyes shone brightly up at Daddy. She was scared. Mommy won't wake.

She walked around. 1, 2, 3 bottles she counted out loud. Daddy yelled out in frustration as he picked up the gun.

She sat in the corner, doing as she was told. She kept her eyes on daddy, letting the small tears roll down her cheeks. Daddy sat at the edge of the bed putting the gun in his mouth.

Little Anna closed her eyes and put her hands together. Quietly, she talked to God. Three words escaped from her lips. I'm so sorry.

Loud knocks and shouts were heard from behind the locked door. Time slowed down. Each second felt like a minute. Each minute felt like an hour.

A loud bang was heard throughout the house. The door fell to the floor.

Little Anna opened her eyes to see strangers in black uniforms in the room. She stood up. Her eyes shone brightly up at one of the strangers. She was scared. Daddy won't wake.

I wrote this when I was nine years old, believe it or not. I found it in one of my old diaries.
