The torrential rain has continued and shows no signs of stopping The grey clouds overhead are darker than ever and the light is fading quickly Don&039;t think I can stay standing like this for er I can&039;t feel my feet or my hands anymore The skin on my face is raw and I&039; to drink all day but

I&039;m scared Every time one of the soldiers near to me moves I catch my breath, not because I&039; with frustration, desperate to fight and to kill the evil scu us captive here But I know that I can&039;t There are too many of them and they are too heavily armed If I dared show my intentions they would destroy etting harder and harder to keep these e the line other people have been unable to hold back and have paid for it with their lives Just a few e followed by a hail of bullets in the gloom behindthan the sounds of fighting and death which preceded it

As the day has dragged on it has becoht I can only see as far as about thirty people ahead of me and a sirown hundreds of people longer Twice in the last hour or so convoys of eht more people here and they&039;re now back out on the streets again looking for others

The girl in front of ain I can&039;t let her fall I shuffle forward slightly and put my hand out to steady her

&039;Come on,&039; I hiss under my breath, &039;not now Try to hold on&039; I don&039;t even know if she can hear &039;s happening up ahead I can&039;t see anything but I can definitely hear soloo on Are people finally starting to er I&039;m unsure but then an unexpected ripple ofthe line to a point where I can finally see what&039;s happening We&039;re starting to shuffle forward A sudden wave of aard, stu movement reaches s are agonisingly stiff and every step takes a massive amount of effort and coordination For a s begins to fade slightly, but then I start to think about etowards and the panic returns I know thata run for it is out of the question for now Just putting one foot in front of the other is difficult enough I don&039;t have the strength or the energy to be able to move any faster

The soldiers continue totheir distancethose of us who move too slowly or who stumble out of line Just ahead another one of the round He&039;s old and tired and he lies on the gravel track sobbing I keep walking - I have no choice - and I listen as one of the soldiers yells at hi I wish I could do sounshot close behindis over My fury now feels harder than ever to contain Despite ht theer by the minute and is almost impossible to suppress It&039;s only the obvious fact that any reaction would inevitably be the last thing I do that keeps ain

Alan it now ends I have no idea how far we&039;ve moved I don&039;t kno much closer to it I now am but I assume the people at the front of the queue have finally been led down the track towards the entrance to the building
