Dream Journal
I was outside with my mother near my dad’s shop when I saw on Google news that a bomber plane was flying over Homer. I yelled to my mom and told her that we needed shelter. She said that she knew about the plane because she had heard it on the radio. We ran to the coal shed — made of wood — and pulled the curtain closed once inside.
I asked my mom where my nieces were, and she said that they were inside the house with Sam. I could hear the plane flying overhead when Lacey poked her head under the curtain. I called her to me and held her under my left arm. Another Lacey poked her head under the curtain, and I held her under my right arm. My mom’s two dogs ran across the lawn and into the coal shed with us.
Then Sam pulled my three nieces into the shed; it was a tight fit with three adults, three children, and four dogs. We all huddled in one corner together listening to the bomber plane circle our town.
