Holocaust Story

Every Day at roll call, Jacob stands next to you. Today they had a special roll call called the Penal Roll Call. Out of routine he usually stands on your left side, but today he stood on your right. The leader of the camp was screaming at the long row of prisoners because he had found out about a group who had made an escape plot. He then screamed "FIRE" and Nazi soldiers began to randomly fire. All you could hear around you were loud gunshots and faint screams of the people falling around you. The next thing you know, the man standing directly to your left, collapsed right at you feet. You got off uninjured, and hurried to your bock. You don't realize until you see Jacob that the man killed next to you should have been Jacob. Was this just dumb luck, or was this a sign that things were looking up.
