Since we were to the front-line, no-one cared about the orphans’
tent. So the older kids looked after the others. By scaring them, apparently.
“If you go to the latrines at midnight and turn the lights
off, close your eyes and say ‘Invaders’ three times slowly one turns up and
chops your head off!” said Sally. Most of the smaller kids looked scared. I snorted.
“Try it then.” Mick dared.
I agreed. After lights out, I waited for midnight, then went over there and began the nonsense.
The last thing I heard was Mick’s laugh before he slit my
throat.
