"Are You Ready to Die"

It was the middle of world war II when my family was taken to a concentration camp. I knew we’d probably be dead soon. A concentration camp is were the Nazis took the jews,and , “outlaws”. My mother and father were worked to death and when i was almost starved the capt. took 10 of us outlaws and either shot us or sent us to a gas chamber or noose. He choose to keep me and I was third in line out of three people. when he shot the first two I remember hearing bloodcurdling screams and seeing blood fly every wear. After the second he looked me in the eye and asked if i was ready to die. i just replied The Hell with you, turned and ran. I ran so fast i began to not feel my legs. I was shot in the back 3 times. blood running down my sides and legs i began to go numb. i almost passed out a few times. I saw his shadow and i closed my eyes and stopped breathing so he’d think i was dead. As I herd him finally walk away I also herd a soft chuckle and slowly tried to kill my self, bit I couldn’t do it.
