Thorns in the Heart I

             "I felt it was a month."

             The door was a little noise and Trung-Dung's voice.

             "Nguyen. Open the door for me."

             Nguyen took an easy to half-open the door and looked at Trung-
         Dung after he crawled into the house.

             "My God... I was so worried off you."

             "Nguyen. Fuck them....! They were a lot out there!"

             "Do you saw them?"

             "Yes. They didn't hide anymore. They were proudly walking on
         the roads such as they were overwhelming all of the militaries bases
         and controlled Ban-Me-Thuot city."

             Nguyen looked at his watch.

             "We don't know. But it was 2 o'clock AM now...!" He looked at
         Trung-Dung,  shook  his  head  and  said:  "Don't  tell  mom  until  she
         knows."

             "Yes."

             "We must make a shelter right now. It may be dangerous in the
         day time"  In hurry Nguyen said.

             "I hope not."

             "The army support forces of  23th Division will drop onto Ban-
         Me-Thuot  by  choppers,  514th.  tighter  airplanes  squadron  of  the
         62nd aerial division at Nha-Trang city base will drop the bombs all
         over Viet-Cong stronghold places."

             Trung-Dung stared at Nguyen with his sad eyes.

             "Oh...My God! A lot of civilians will die by both sides."
