Each Piece of Firewood

By Kian Sabik

ALL IT TAKES...

Shame.

That's what Tarek and his family have to live with. They don't belong in Myanmar. He and the other Rohingya are parasites. They're foreigners, unwanted.

At least, that's what the government wants everyone to believe.

But Tarek's family can't leave the life they struggled to build for themselves. Myanmar is their rightful home. Even if they have to live with the ridicule and discrimination, at least they have a home. At least they have each other.

And then the rumble comes...and it will stop at nothing to tear everything apart.

IS A SINGLE GUNSHOT.

Hatred.

That's what Kan feels toward them. They've infested his country, the country he would die for. All he wants is to see the life slipping from a Rohingya's eyes, his hands around their throat.

Kan has to remind himself to be patient. He has to wait until he's a soldier in the army, ready for action. And that day is finally here. He's been accepted. He's going to live the life he's always dreamed of - serving his country.

But then the red takes over...and he can't stop it.
