In Nakhonpanom, Thailand, August 8, 1945
I was playing with toys (made of palms) with my baby brother in the corner of the
house, our house had one big room, made of wood. We had mattresses to sleep in, in one corner and drawers filled with clothes in another. My parents would be working on the rice field or going to pond nearby to find fishes for us to eat. Suddenly I heard a sound coming from outside, the sound was loud and high pitched. I felt like ‘I can’t hear this any longer,’ I didn’t know what it meant. But I heard people yelling!
“Get to the shelters!”
And people running as if they’re going mad, at first I thought it was hilarious but, it wasn’t funny for long. I had no idea what was going on. ‘I’ve only lived my life for 5 years. I have too many things I want to do in my life.’ I picked up my baby brother, there was an older man leading us somewhere, me and my family followed him, running as fast as we could.

the shelter before the bombs hit us. (at least it should be) The shelter was an underground pit, I saw people shoving each other to get inside. It looked like a giant swimming pool so, I jumped right in. Everyone in the shelter was quiet, they were all hugging each other, some were shaking. I kept holding my baby brother for him to stay calm and quiet. I opened my mouth, wanting to ask ‘what’s going on’ but, my parents looked at me and shook their heads, I think they’re

It was a long time we stayed in the
shelter, it felt like a day. It was very quiet for a very long time, there weren’t any sounds of planes drifting by and soldiers sprinting around. We came up from the shelter, the first thing I saw was our house, it wasn’t damaged that much, from the outside it looked almost the same but, with dents and what seems like stains. We went back to living our same old lives, but it will never be the same after what happened. I won’t forget that I experienced something important, that changed my life.

World War II brought a lot of suering, misery and hardship to
thousands of people. German bombers made terrifying night attacks.
Families were broken up, men were sent to the front lines to fight, some never returned. Children were sent out of the cities to stay with
strangers, away from the bombing.

The Author’s note
15 Nov 2015
!!
My nickname is Ramie. I like learning about history but, I don’t like the homework and tests part. When I get home from school, I would watch videos on YouTube or chat with friends, then I will start doing my homework. Sometimes when I have to stay up to do homework, I wonder if I have a lot of work on that day or I was just lazy. When I have free time I read online Thai novels on a teen website called dek-d.com.
!
I have an older sister, her name is ‘Prima’ she loves K-pop. (More than me) When ever she sees or hear anything related to K-pop, she would be screaming and shaking my arm saying “Oh. My. God. It’s Exo’s new song! Ah!” But, she’s also a best friend to me growing up.
