It was September 1, 1939 when the war broke out.  I was at my house in Tallahassee, Florida  on April 16, 1945 when a battle began.

   I was very afraid and worried so I went to my basement because I built one last year thinking the war would get  here and I could wait it out in my  basement with everything boarded up and I  had cans to eat.  I was thinking it wouldn't get that bad and they would just move troops through there. But I was wrong. I heard gunshots and got worried. I live alone in a two story building which wasn't that big but it was alright.

I've always looked back on how dumb I was thinking that I would just wait it out.  I heard some screams and knew they were coming closer. I was scared though I knew they wouldn't try to kill an innocent citizen, "Right?," I thought in my head getting paranoid I was in a real life warzone!

    I miraculously fell asleep and woke up to knocking on the basement door I went up with the little pistol I bought the month before and opened the door,

  "Ha oh my gosh you scared me!" said a man in a military suit I knew it was a American one cause on top it said United States Of America, and I knew I was in good hands.
