The once lively and beautiful city of Belgium, collapsed into a depressing scene of destruction and despair. There was no sign of life. The city was littered with gravel and bricks. Madeline opened her eyes and lifted the debris off of her dress. She stood up, and saw with a blurry vision. She was light headed and did not know what was going on.
