Kaitlyn - Gone to war.

A small scarlet box sat in the middle of her wooden dresser. Morning came, the girl awoke, she saw the box and realized who it was from. A note was tied to the box. The girl started to tremble, and her knees gave way as she read the note. A tear slid down her cheek as she sat down on her bed. So as she lifted the lid she burst into tears, " Mother! Why did he have to go to war!" she cried. She fell onto her bed and cried, clutching the picture of her Dad in her hand.
