“ALL JEWS COME THIS WAY!” A Nazi guard yelled, screams erupted from a nearby gas chamber. I cringed and frowned my body was telling me to be scared as mothers cried over their dead children, but my brain didn’t register the emotion. I was 13 at the time, and my name was garroth Skylinski. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAYEDZfdGFiM

“NUMBER 19” a guard yelled, I looked up and frowned watching an old man walk forward his body trembling. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAj5zSMqnObl
“Is there a reason you’re slacking?” the guard snapped, the man sobbed. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAsbJBp5vmFZ
“No sir.” 139Please respect copyright.PENANA9RaZlVRTfC
“THEN WHY AREN’T YOU DOING YOUR JOB?!” The guard yelled grabbing the elderly man by the collar the upside down triangle shining pink in the dim lights. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAT3EXOuRjbA
“Please sir, I barely have the strength…I’m dying…” he replied. 139Please respect copyright.PENANA2vCfE7C6Vx
I watched all emotion gone permanently, as soon as the guard threw him to the ground slamming his big foot into the man’s ribcage violently women cried out in horror and men held in their fear. The man cried out in pain blood gushing from his mouth, “DYING?!” The guard screamed “DYING!?” He repeated before spitting. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAh2TLJ3zWSI
The man went limp his eyes glazing over, I looked away as women burst into tears “GET BACK TO WORK, YOU FILTHY PIGS!” the guard yelled, I frowned doing as he said. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAnCcN0kyGgK

“GROUP 113! GET UP! YOUR TURN FOR THE CHAMBERS.” A guard of my sections barracks yelled. I yawned hopping from my cot before walking to the line “well aren’t you eager to die.” The guard said looking me in the ears the anger and hatred visible, I frowned forbidding any emotions from showing. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAlTdlWA0mUN
He scoffed “think you’re better then everyone else?” He snapped, I looked him in the eyes with determination. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAJWWegdjmYl
“No sir.” I paused choosing my words wisely “I’d rather be dead then in this filthy place” I finished. The guard stared before his hand connected with my cheek, my breathe hitched and I spit blood towards the ground. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAfrD3iiFDZF
“DID I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO SPEAK?!” He yelled in my face his spit splattering all over me, i crinkled my nose in disgust. 139Please respect copyright.PENANA3GBxruMPdZ
When he took a step back I smirked wiping my face “you asked me a question, I answered.” I replied. 139Please respect copyright.PENANA9EIGW36kJL
He growled and stormed to the front like a 5 year old throwing a tantrum, I wiped the remaining blood from my lip and smirked as the others stared at me in disbelief and envy. 139Please respect copyright.PENANApEPZdXnHU7
We all stood silently in a line as we waited for group 112 to be gassed. Listening to the screams I frowned as people sobbed in fear, I shifted feet uncomfortably and we started moving. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAaRSHfcdGpG
The first set of screams I recognized as the old men and women, I split from the group to the kids section and waited as the middle aged group went next. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAFy21c2FueJ
That’s when for the first time fear had set into my heart and I started to tremble, I didn’t want to die. I stared ahead my eyes flickering between the guards but stopped spotting someone with a white mask and yellow hoodie on. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAI8aDMx1ZfT
He didn’t belong here, he pointed to a guard then to his mask and I nodded hesitantly unsure if he was talking to me as I trembled. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAeg0k7v1d4p
“MOVE!” 139Please respect copyright.PENANAjDPM60Rdau
Kids started to move and file into the chamber in small groups before stopping before me, I looked for the white masked man seeing him no where. I frowned noticing the guard as he ate something a gas mask on the ground next to him, I sighed and as soon as the chamber was cleared and we started to file in. I grabbed the mask silently as I went in. 139Please respect copyright.PENANA7pIBmLWTCQ
The man turned to grab it and spotted me just before he jumped in and slammed me to the ground “piece of shit” he hissed just as the room started to fill with gas. I stared as the kids started to scream in pain and claw at the walls in desperation, I flailed under the guard and kicked violently, his eyes filled with fear “shisse..” he cursed his face practically turned blue as he let out an angry shriek and suffocated “you’re going with me.” He growled in a raspy voice. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAGG3oawzQQH
I scrambled from underneath him and ran towards the gas mask, I tripped becoming lightheaded as I watched other kids fall to the ground limp. i huffed and gasped for air as i grabbed the mask just before i fell into black.
"hey kid, time to wake up" a voice said, i started to stir opening my eyes to see the man in the white mask from before hover above me. "put this on" he said handing me a gas mask, i nodded taking it. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAjmU1qRlZU5
"who are you?" i stopped noticing he was gone and i frowned pulling the mask over my head. the doors to the chamber opened and people screamed in horror. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAe82lMhcptw
i looked down at my blue tinted hands as a gas like smoke emitted from them, i stared a sort of glee and happiness filling me. 139Please respect copyright.PENANA6m2OXDo7e0
everyone screamed and cried as smoke filled the camp as i walked, practically skipping i laughed hysterically. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAmVvGXZFSPE
i then noticed the man again holding out his hand unaffected by the gas as i took his hand, he pulled his mask just above his mouth and smiled "come home with me?" he asked "they'll take good care of you.." he finished. i grinned confused but happy the gas coming to a stop as the camp became silent. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAGMXjO3fwqn
