I am Malinda and I am 12 years old. I don’t know what is going on. All I know is that there is smoke and fire everywhere. People are running away. I can tell that this is not a good sign. On the news I hear something about surrender and for sure know that our emperor means we are. I mean Nagasaki is a mess. There is smoke everywhere that no one can see where they’re going. Yesterday my dad went outside but he never came back. I don’t know what to do; I am confused. I Just hope I wont be left alone.=====
