Second Chapter
22nd September 1980
Attack of Iraq
It all happened so sudden. Everyone was wispering prayers and all I could hear was war.
I turn on the radio: "Last night, the Iraqi forces attacked the airports in Tehran..."
I wish I could remove the fear from my mother.
Even in school, nobody could focus on anything other than War.
"Iraq has attacked our country last night... we have a duty, as men of this nation to fight for its freedom...God has promised the heaven to martyrs, they place at the highest level of heaven..."
So is it my duty too? to save my country, my house. my mother?
And what's the worst that could happen?
even if I die, I'll go to heaven.
My older brother and his friends started going to war one by one.
When I turn 17, I will join them too.
