The friend I lost

I hid under the pile of clothes. Afterwards, I heard a gunshot along with a scream. It was her scream. Later, I heard men remove Julia’s body from the boat. I remained there for a while and did not move. I was terrified. When I thought people had gone away, I came out. I saw that where Julia was sitting, there was now only blood. I gazed at the blood for a minute and then proceeded upstairs. When I went out of the boat cabin, I saw the sun was about to rise. This was a lovely scene. The birds were singing.

I do not know what to feel. I started walking away from the abandoned boats. I kept walking in the forest. Tears are rolling down my face. I wanted to scream, but I could not because I was scared that if they found me, they would kill me. A while later, I sat under the tree and leaned on the tree.

“What am I doing?” I spoke. “I am an idiot"
