Description I remember when the sky was filled with clouds. Nowadays, all we can see are streaking missiles and fighter planes.

I remember when the rivers used to be full of clear water. Nowadays, they are stained red with blood.

I remember when the townspeople used to smile. Nowadays, those who smile, are insane.

I remember when we could buy the food we ate. Nowadays, we must forage for it ourselves.

I remember when the only time we ever saw a dead body was when we went to a funeral. Nowadays, dead bodies litter the streets.

I remember when we ran outside just to breathe the fresh air. Nowadays, the air is suffocating.

I remember when we used to visit our neighbors. Nowadays, our neighbors are dead.

I remember when I used to be afraid of the darkness. Nowadays, I'm afraid of what is in the darkness.

I remember when I had two siblings. Nowadays, I have none.

I remember when this town was a lively, bustling place. Nowadays, it is in ruins.

I remember when there was no war. Nowadays, I live in it.
