Dear Journal,

        It is now about 4:30 o’clock in the morning and more bombs had been dropped by the Germans throughout the night. Oh, what a dismal day today is. My parents have yet to arrive at the shelter. The agonizing  screams of the innocent citizens in the streets have been heard all night. This has by far been the worst birthday imaginable. I miss my parents very dearly and hope for their return soon. Maybe then I won’t feel so alone.
