Arriving by Michael Rosen

from Historyworks Hosted by Historyworks

The guns stopped. The bombs stopped. The world was broken. People were broken. Millions of people had no home, millions of people were far from home. One of them was called Michael. He was alone. No father, no mother. Alone amongst millions. What now? He had an address. He had a cousin in England. So, one day, some time after the guns and bombs had stopped, a woman called Sylvia was in her house when the doorbell rang. Out of all the family out there, where the camps had been, he was the only one who had survived. Now he was standing on the doorstep. He was the only one who had arrived. And he stayed and stayed. And where he stayed he made his home.
