'I can't stop thinking about those tiny terrified children'

December 18, 2014 11:52

"We cannot, any of us, imagine the horror of innocent schoolchildren being forced to see their teacher burnt alive, blood pouring from her wounds. I simply can't fathom how those cowards could shoot 132 children in the head, at point blank range, one by one. Children.

"I can't stop thinking about those tiny terrified children sprawled on the cold floor, eyes shut, fingers in their ears, the boom of the gunshots getting closer and closer.

"In another room, one of the terrorists blew himself up in a room with 60 children. Some of the parents couldn't recognise their child's body, so powerful were the blasts that killed them."

Powerful writing and a must read. Take a look.
