Last Stand.

The groud trembled as the
Bombs were droped
sending the bible he was reading flying out of his hands into the lap of his wife
With his gaze fixed on his crying wifes face he gently got up, picked up the bible and wraped his wifes trembling hands around it.
He picked up his daughter and kissed her gently on her check, he took off his rosary around his neck and gentley placed it on her daughters.
The church bells above began to ring,
he looked at her wife one last time, returned her duaghter to her mother, picked up his rifle and slowly walked to the front door where his brother was waiting.
he stoped hafway through the door, intending to look back, but he didnt, missing the tear that rolled down his daughters cheek, he walked through the door, to his brother and slowly they walked towards the light.
