The Beginning of the End
Maria walked through her front door after walking home from school. Although Germany was at war school was still open. I went into the kitchen to find my mother holding an envelope with my name on it. "This is for you Maria," my mother said before handing me the envelope. "When did it arrive?" I asked while sliding it open.
"It came just before you did today. What does it say?" she replied.
There was a newspaper inside the envelope. My eyes dropped as I read the headline.
Mussolini and Hitler found dead in Berlin!
I showed my mother and noticed as I gave it to her that there was writing across the back.
TWO DEAD AND TWO STEPS CLOSER TO THE END OF THE WORLD, it said in blood. I looked at my mother while the colour left my face. This was the beginning of the end.
