2412416 Remembering The Fire's Betrayal
I walked down the remains of the land I've always loved, wishing it had all been a dream. Oh, if it had just been a dream. but i knew it was real, too real. Fire had destroyed us. FIRE. How could it do that to us? Our tribe has always used it as a sign of good, we even used it as a symbol for our tribe. It backstabbed us, taking the forest, and the people for it's own. All the people except one. THat would be me.
My name is Shamoya Nelti, and i wish that that name would have joined the ranks of the heavens last night too. It was too terrible being alone, without anyone, or anything familiar. Even the river had dried out.
I looked around at the charred stumps, and dried out river, and felt brittle dirt beneath my feet, where supple undergrowth used to be. All these familiar things that i've always considered "mine" just don't have that same feeling anymore. I feel like a stranger in my own land.
I know I should be grateful for my life, but I'm not. It would be easier to be dead. Although it seems like the world had ended, I know I have to go on, make a life of my own. It may be different than the one I've led for eleven years now, but it will be a good one, I promise myself that. I just wish I could make this new life with my 14 year old sister, Ana, who was also my best friend, but the fires leaping flames grasped her while she was sleeping.

2412416 I have never really known loss before, but now it overpowers all my senses, pulsing through my blood, like it has been all I've ever known. The sun is still a golden ball of light shining above me, which gives me hope, because I remember that same ball of light is shining over many other people, and it helps them, just as it will help me, through trouble. Still, it represents fire, so I try not to look at it.
People may say, "You're angry at an element?" and the answer is yes. But to us it is more than an element, to us, it represents life, it is life, it represents the blood running through our veins. It means so much to us, we honor it as a god. We never thought it would turn on us like that.
It did, and I will never look at it or think about in the same way again. Inm y mind, it will never be godly again, it will just be a plain, old, element. MY rage still hasnt died down yet from its betrayal, but I'm trying to calm myself

2412416 I think I may have been a sign. I was the first person in my tribe to be born without hair like blazing flames for as long as anyone can remember. Then why let me live?
"Are you trying to make me suffer?" I screamed, tugging at my thick black hair, hoping that some physical pain would distract me from the emotional pain i was drowning in.
I come from the tribe As Criancas Do Fogo, or The Fire Children, but I will not connect myself to that name anymore. I will not connect myself to anything that has to do with fire.
I walked around the bare area that had once been a forest, looking for something familiar. Around 20 minutes later, I found something. Many burnt sticks were sitting in an ashen lump on the ground, underneath one of the few surviving trees. After a moment, i saw the lump heave. Out poked a small, furry head, then a body, then a big, bushy tail. A squirrel!
A sign of life at last. I'm not alone. Another animal is going to survive this experience with me. The forest sounded eerie, as there was no noise except for the occasional rustle of ash and twigs brought on by the wind. No birds chirping, no leaves brushing a tree, not anything.
My family's hut burnt down during the fire, but I don't care. I'd rather sleep under the stars.

just since you are writting i wanted t know how old you are becuz I wanna be a writer when im older and maybe knowing your age and when you a=started could help me

I'm 11. I think it will get published, at some point, but I'm not super far on that one either, I only started in december, 2008
I know I'm kind of young, but I believe people of any age should write if they have an idea and a talent for it.
