One day some cruel men came and burned our home. All my brothers were killed and all but my favorite sister, Ches, perished. 'I hat left the two of us to face the dangers of a cruel and gloom-filled life. For two days, we managed to make a go of our life, but on the third day, the inevitable happened. We were weak from lack of food and finally we were kicked into the gutter by the thoughtless public. The next thing we knew we were being carefully picked up by two rough-looking men. We were made comfortable until we realized our fate. We were both going to be burned to death! I’m sure Ches recollected what agony all our brothers and sisters went through, and the terrified look of anguish on their faces as the flames leaped higher and higher. It was like Joan of Arc being burned at the stake. A tiny package of book matches was all they needed to set us aflame. Those merciless killers cared no more about us. They were busy keeping the fire going. Our life soon would be swept out. The flames were starting to sear through my skin and soon my feet were singed to a crisp. Finally, when they dropped to the ground in the form of ashes, I could bear it no longer. With each breath, our lives were shortened. I know that I suffered more than Ches did because I was a King- Size Chesterfield, one-fifth longer that Regular-Size Ches. —Dick Sherwin ’54 — Sixteen —
