“The day bullets rained from the sky was
the climax. Everyone took off in a race to nowhere. Men and women screamed as
they ran; children cried out; dogs galloped, barking; chickens ran a bit, flew a
bit and scurried back. Wrappas fell off women’s waists and slippers flung off
their feet. People indoors ran out in bewilderment while those outside dashed
into their houses for protection. It took everyone by
surprise and shook everybody in a hard way. Then it ceased. It was a short
period of chaos but it looked like forever. People packed small bags and were
ready to move in groups. The offensive resumed shortly after. This time, mortar
bombs began to fly in too. Enyia I do not know how to describe the pandemonium
that followed.” Culled from "The Forest Dames". Available @amazon, barnes, authorhouseWar survivor shares her experience
