A voice answered: “Precious one, we’re waiting for your parents find you.”
Ariel: “But you shot them dead.”
Some distant away, little Sahana opened her eyes from a deep sleep on a hospital bed, immediately feeling both her legs below the knees missing. A young nurse brought a pair of dolls, handed over and whispered: “Your parents will come soon.”
Sahana: “You’re lying.”
Nurse: “Why so?”
Sahana: “I watched their bodies flying from that same missile.”
