The other side of the fence
My older sister Amanda always loves to tell me stories, she’s good at it too. I love the way her eyes light up when it gets to her favourite part and the way I can see the pain in them when she gets to the worst. She never runs out of them, some of them she writes at night to tell me, but others are real. She will tell me stories about life before me to help fill in the blank spaces I have. She tells me about mom and dad and what life was like before they left. You see, there is a war, I don’t really understand it but it all started in the year 2021. My sister has told me this story many times but I always get lost, why would the government want to take children away from their parents and siblings away from one another? My sister still won’t tell me exactly how it started, she said it had to do with the poor uprising against the rich, but I don’t actually understand what those words really mean. All I know is that I’m lucky because my sister takes care of me which not a lot of people have. Government officials won’t let siblings be with each other and my sister says she has to bribe the officers to let her stay with me. I don’t know what she bribes them with, we have nothing.
