A run for our lives

Immediately I heard him I went straight to the room my sisters and I were sharing, I packed their clothes and mine and waited for our uncle to fall asleep.

When our uncle was fast asleep my siblings and I escaped from the house and took to our heels.. we moved the whole night without thinking of the danger that licks in the night. Early in the morning I looked for shelter in an abandoned building for my little siblings to rest.

After resting for a few hours we started walking not knowing where we were going, we walked a few metres east when we found an orphanage. I then decided to leave my siblings there so that they can be taken care of and later given for adoption. I knew it was going to be hard for me but I had to do it just for their sake.

When we got there I explained everything to them and why I was leaving them there, for a while they didn't accept my suggestion of leaving them but they eventually gave in and stayed. We said our goodbyes and I promised to look for them in future. I left the orphanage heartbroken and didn't know where to go.
