A Diary Entry From a Prisoner Wirrawee
Stupid Corrie. How come she gets to go camping? And she is going to miss out on the show. We always go together and hang out there.Go on rides together and watch the Commemoration Day Planes, but no, she is going camping with her stupid boyfriend and stupid her friends. Well it's her lose, Corries is gonna miss out on the best Commemoration Day ever.Commemoration day started off like it always does, mum and dad get up early so they can start setting up show set up,they get home and start going on about how our cows could win a big prize. Once we arrived at the show I walked around for a while then, went on the big ferris wheel. Something about the show seemed different this year, something felt wrong. It was around 5:30 when the commemoration day planes, which was strange because they always come at 6:00.They kept coming and coming it was amazing how many planes there were.There must of been hundreds.Then out of know where they started to land. This was no normal commemoration day air show. My first instinct was to run. As I started to flee the showground something else stopped me, the people. People were starting to come out of the planes and they had guns. I can’t go, I can’t leave mum and dad behind. I searched around trying to find mum and dad. I am sick with worry for them. “Emma, Emma!” It was mum and dad calling me, once I found them, I gave them the biggest hug I could because I was scared for my life. Then suddenly over the loud speaker a voice came on “ Hello residence of Wirrawee, we are satisfied to say that we have successfully overtaken Wirrawee, we urge not to go anywhere or do anything. All power, phone and water lines have all been cut. You are all being held captive and if you step out line, well, we have guns and we are prepared to shoot.” Now I am scared for my life. How could we all have been so stupid, how did we not see we were being invaded? The soldiers split all the families up and put us in age groups. I did not want to go but at the same time I did not want to get shot so I went. They put all the kids together and put us in a cage. They were counting us,seeing how many of us there was. While counting us they were putting up lights and fences around the showground. We can’t go,we can’t escape now, we are trapped. Evently we were released to go find our families. I found mum and dad pretty easy they were standing with Ellie’s parents.Then they gave us jobs to do and made sure we did then well, if not it was to a cage and if you really stuffed up well you might just get shot. Corrie! Corrie is still there. She can come and save us. She can get us free. She will and she can save us. Corrie is my last hope.
