to be hurt.
“What are you doing this far, son? Go home. “
“How did you escape?”
“I was in school. When I arrived home, I found my parents and sisters dead and our house burned to the ground.
A neighbor took me in and allowed me to sleep in his burn for a few nights. Later, he advised me to leave our village
and go where nobody knows me. He also cautioned me never tell anybody that. Father was a police informer. That was

equates to thirty-three metres; at a hundred it equates to fifty-five metres. More distance is needed to
safely stop in rain or poor visibility.
