We hid in the deep foxhole as bombs exploded. The Muslim countries now run by extreme terrorist militants had decided the West was beyond moral redemption because of abortion, pre-marital sex, and homosexuality. They were at war with America. A bomb came right toward us. Tim kissed me. I love you. Then all went black.
