“Treasure hunt on Easter, costumes on Halloween, snowmen on Christmas.”
“The songs we wrote with chalk on the walls.”
“The countless times I won tic tac toe.”
Laughs and tears, they’d lived through everything.
Refugee camp had felt like home.
Some were going to leave.
He’d hidden this fact.
The bus arrived.
“Where to?”
“Onward.”
