Refugee
By: Joshua Preece | Cwmbran High School
Half a mile across the English Channel and the sound of shells exploding is still completely overwhelming.
But at least now it’s behind me.
I try to ignore it but the sound takes me by surprise every time. And I slide further into the back of my chair.
There are some people in front of me fetching something. They’re speaking a completely different language, what is it I wonder?
For the first time I realise I have no idea where I am going or what’s ahead of me.
I think back just an hour or so, I remember running to the boats watching the town I’ve grown up in crumble down behind me.
Now I’m a refugee with no home and no family.
