SOUL CLUSTER
“Fifty
people lived there,” the man said, “Including my family.”
The
camera crew began filming as the reporter asked, “In that small house?”
“We couldn’t
use the house – we lived in the cellar. “
“All
those months?”
“More
than a year.”
“What did
you eat?”
“Dogs, rats,
even grass. And there are always cockroaches.”
“No-one
can live on that.”
“Many didn’t.
My mother died first, and then the babies, but a bomb got them all in the end.”
“All except
you.”
“I was
fetching water. It is a small comfort to know that their souls reached heaven
together.”
