Arms

The girl heard gun shots everywhere, the sound of a bomb exploding to her left, and people crying to her right. They marched into her house, wearing green and black outfits with paint on their faces. They grabbed her parents and forced them to go outside. She cried and tried to pull them back, but she was too weak. Maybe she didn't know, or maybe she didn't care; right now, she was entering a war zone. She walked through the streets in search of her parents, several soldiers trying to protect her from harm. Many of them died in the process, but she didn't notice. She found her parents beside the leader of the enemy. They were dead in a second. She screamed.
She ran to them, crying, and asked the leader, "Can I have them back?"
He answered, "No."
She said, "Pretty please with a cherry on top?"
Instead of replying he pulled out his gun.
"I think you need a hug," said the girl. "Stop being mean. Please..."
He pulled the trigger, and she was gone as well.
"You have them back now," he whispered quietly.
He shot himself and the war ended.
