A Time to Live

S u e P u r k i s s

th Thursday 30 July, 1942

I’m tired this morning – there was an air raid last night. The sound of the engines woke me up and I ran over to the window and peered out. In the moonlight I saw planes flying low – bombers. Were they British or German? I wasn’t sure. Smaller planes came. They darted round like angry wasps. They were fighters. I could tell by

their shape that they were German. They began to attack the bombers and I saw puffs of smoke and flashes of flame. Then there was a bigger explosion. It was so bright it made me blink. When I opened my eyes, I saw a tiny white shape drifting down. A parachute. Someone had escaped from the burning plane. Oh, please let him be all right, I prayed.Please let him live. I wondered if Papa and Maman were watching from their room. Papa wouldn’t care if the man lived or died.Germans, British, they’re as bad as each other, he says.
