Death

The world had changed.
Nuclear war had seen to that.
Two powers fighting
Alana wanted to say
one was evil and the other
good…

But things weren’t so black and white.

Their war destroyed the land she called home.
Nothing would ever be the same again.
She was tired
so damn tired.
She wanted to go home
to a home that no longer existed.

Her sister was gone.
Her family
Her sister
All gone

Deep down she knew
Her sister was still alive…
It was something she held onto
Something she never could let go of.

Her sister
The rebel
The frail freedom fighter
fighting for a land that was not hers.
