A Small Act of Kindness
The sound of laughter filled the air, as well as the pungent smell of chlorine. A small ball bobbled along, followed by a young girl clutching a pool noodle to keep afloat. Her right hand gripped the side of the pool for help, occasionally reaching forward to grab the ball, but her fingers just brushed the side as it floated just out of reach. The girl was determined, and with a mighty push, the ball was secured in her arms. She laughed happily, grinning at her cousin, who was nearby, keeping an eye on her. The young girl turned and spotted her mother taking her baby brother into the kiddie pool, where she noticed another little girl, not much bigger than her little brother, playing quietly with her dad. The young girl tossed her ball out of the pool, and pulled herself out after it, struggling as her pool noodle got in the way. Once she had dragged herself from the water, she padded over to the kiddie pool and hopped in beside her mum.

Poor Kid
I watched it all from the backseat of my father’s VW. The truck was flying towards us, filled with Taliban soldiers. “MUM! DAD! STOP THE CAR!” I scream. But it’s too late, and I know it. There’s the agonizing crunch as the truck hits the front of the car. I scream as the back of the car spins towards the truck, but the truck gets out of the way just in time. I’m still screaming as the back of the car comes to a halt.
