Night
By Kristi Lee

Nobody really knows what the prisoners felt that night.
Nobody understands the excruciating pain and fear that ran through their minds,
like a stampede of wild horses.
The cramped space and lack of oxygen in the cattle cars scarred them for life.
The blazing fire and clouds of smoke smelled of human flesh.
Their stomachs growl in hunger as they prepare for selection and pray to live,
though not many did.
So as the endless night fell upon them,
they felt in their hearts that their lives will never be the same again.
