The Franchise

My best friend and I are running from the Nazi's in two feet deep snow, it's hard and tiring, you can see your breath. We've been running for a long time as i'm hungry and exhausted. Going along rail tracks we notice a train that has stopped, looks abandoned. Me and my friend hide in one of the cars and try to stay warm, but in seconds we hear things. It's the Nazi's and their army. i see them between the wood walls. We climb on the roof and lie down as flat as possible. We eat our sandwiches and play cards in silence. I hear crunching and i close my eyes. I smell dogs, and then hear barking and german yelling then someone screaming at me. I look up and it's a german soldier with his gun pointed at me and my friend, but my friend is gone and dissapeared. I think they took him for a walk, i look up at the soldier and he is my friend from a restaurant i used to work at back in mississauga (his nickname was The Franchise). He cocks his gun and laughs, taking me for a walk. I closed my eyes and began to sink into the darkness, it's like water you can't swim in.
