Lights

We can see lights through the trees.

They should not be there, were told this was a safe place and no one would know we were here. We testified for the authorities, though we had no choice and we were promised safety.

They put us in this cabin in the middle of nowhere and left us.

We switched our lights off as soon as we noticed theirs but they may have seen ours and may know that the cabin is here.

We are frightened.

The authorities said they would be back in a month, that was yesterday. Also, they would not come at night. That is why we are sure it is someone coming to deal with us.

It was our testimony that put some of them behind bars.

The lights are closer now.

We have nowhere to go, we watch through the windows as they walk into the space in front of the cabin.

They have guns and axes.

We are silent.

The door is smashed with an axe ........
