Counting Sheep
Lily Jiang
One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep I lie in the dark, eyes wide open.
Five sheep, six sheep, seven sheep, eight sheep A loud plane flies past our city. I cover my ears.
Nine sheep, ten sheep, eleven sheep, twelve sheep More planes fly overhead. The walls vibrate.
Thirteen sheep, fourteen sheep, fifteen sheep, sixteen sheep There is a sound of an explosion in the distance. Seventeen sheep, eighteen sheep, nineteen sheep— An ear-splitting roar. A flashing light. Screaming.
I run outside into the cold night and see everything ablaze as another bomb falls from the sky.
