I took out my new mobile phone and started to dial 999. My hand was shaking so violently I typed in so many different numbers it was uncountable! I stared and my mum who was trying to stand up. Looking at my leg I almost re-lived the episode.

 

 

 

 

 Once I had hold of someone I screamed down the phone saying, “ I need an ambulance fast. My mum and I have been shot and lying helplessly on Vinyard road. Quickly!” the people said that they would send an ambulance right away. I told mum the news and she actually smiled. I don’t know why because we were just going to the doctors. The scarlet blood was now affecting my foot. I took off my shoes and sat with mum. The shooting continued. I wondered why Hitler hated us so much. Why no one had tried to put an end to it…

     I must have gone numb in my leg as I had been shot again but I hadn’t felt it. There was a loud beeping noise and I saw an ambulance van pull up.

 

 

 

The man from in side came to our rescue and helped us into his van. It was going to be a long ride to the hospital…
