The air raid siren. The bomb shelter. The gas mask given out at school-you were supposed to carry it everywhere you went. Crawling under the desk-like that would save you. The Nazi's. Hitler."That's. the sound of British might right there. You'll see, we will beat the Germans back.Just like last time," his father said.When the new kid came to school, Sam finally had a friend. They spent all their time together. When his friend passed out at school and was taken away, it was only a matter of days until he slipped into a coma and died.As Sam and his parents sit in the shelter during the Blitzkreig watching dust rain down through the crack in the ceiling, they can only wonder if they will still be alive when it's over.I read this as soon as I received it because it was a short story and I was in between books. I thought it was really good and I never saw the ending coming. That's always nice. I'll keep my eyes open for more of Michael Cargill's books. I got the link for this book from caedyslibrary.blogspot.comShelter from Thunder
