Wow! Just, wow, wow, and ohhhhh, how I hope you didn't write this from first-hand experience or eyewitness. Everyone, this is dark and brutal and packed with way more stuff than a 5-minute freewrite can hold - it's bursting at the seams with conflict, tension, horror, and a touching hint of backstory, a loving mother who protects her "too old for a piggyback ride" son by carrying him on her back through the war zone.
**Oops, I read the previous day's freewrite, https://steemit.com/freewrite/@botefarm/no-freedom-after-speech-2-day-329-5-minutes-freewrite. I'll get caught up with the others.
