panic
by Sandra J. Paul
The first explosions sounded like firecrackers, until the screaming starts. Hidden in a small attic with five others, Willem desperately listens to the cries for help. They are in the middle of nowhere, nobody will come to help them. How long will it take for the gunmen to discover their hiding place? Jake stares confusedly at the festively dressed guests who run up the stairs in panic, realizing too late that there is no way out for them. Shots echo through the building, he sees the gunmen coming toward him. He realizes that only death awaits him if he doesn't react right away. Willem and Jake make a drastic decision. Waiting for death is not an option. Panicking isn't either. Two separate stories about the same drama are woven into a unique book.
