"Every time we were shelled at night"

Before the war I lived well. I remember the instant when I saw the military man for the first time. I was going by bus and saw a checkpoint, and from that instant the war began.

Every time we were shelled at night.

We moved to Kyiv to wait out the war.

I missed home, even my dad had to travel during the fighting.
