"Mommy"I check the living room before tiptoeing in the kitchen
Just to see her hiding under the kitchen table while praying.
"Mommy the shooting done"I whisper to her holding her arms guiding her as she slowly came from under the table.
"U sure?"she asked and i nod.
"Come guh sleep inna the guest room upstairs"
She nodded picking up her button phone from the kitchen table.
