THE END

To follow another path, press here.

Carefully you untie the string at your throat. You pull the hood and cape off slowly. As you lean onto your side to hide the garment under your legs, you put your hand on a thorny branch. Before you can think, you cry out— a short yip of pain.

The Soldier turns and shines his lantern in your direction. You remain perfectly still.

The Soldier steps closer to you. “Come out, child,” he says.

You hold your breath.

“Show yourself, now!” he barks.

Your heart thumps and your hands tremble. Suddenly his flashlight is in your eyes, and you’re blinded. Branches and brush crack as he tramples toward you. The light gets brighter, suddenly recedes, and then comes flashing back as he brings the flashlight down on your head with a clunk.

You come to with a horrible headache. You groan and roll over. “Get up,” the Soldier says.

He ties your hands and leads you stumbling back toward your own village. He takes you to the train station and loads you into a big car with dozens of other children. You’re so scared you throw up on your shirt. You have heard of these train cars. Children taken away on them do not come back. All around you, people are crying. A boy you know is calling out the names of his sisters and brothers, but no one is answering.

You close your eyes and cry too.
