Abandoned City

"Few days ago, I was at college and I recieved a call on my cell phone from my mum, she said that there were gun shootings and bombings in my street and that the only entrance to the neighbourhood was blocked, she asked me to be careful when coming back home.

So Several friends of mine and I took a cab and headed back home, when we reached the only entrance street of the neighbourhood, it was blocked and that no car was allowed to enter the neighbourhood. So we got out of the cab and decided to walk home, we asked the check-point of the iraqi national guards which is located at that only entrance street if it was okay for us to walk home, and they said yes."
