PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Gibson explained that the teachers had told them that the rebels had attacked Mogbwemo, our home. School had been canceled until further notice. We stopped what we were doing (9).

Too much blood has been spilled where you are going. Even the good spirits have fled from that place (11-12).

As we, and others, emerged from the bushes, we saw a man run from the driver's seat to the sidewalk, where he vomited blood. When he stopped vomiting, he began to cry. It was the first time I had seen a grown man cry like a child, and I felt a sting in my heart (12).

In the back of the van were three more dead bodies, two girls and a boy, and their blood was all over the seats and the ceiling of the van (12-13).

Later we learned that the man had tried to escape with his family and the rebels had shot at his vehicle, killing all his family (13).
