I pick up my notebook, tear out a clean page andwrite a note.

Dear Mother Minka,Thank you very much for having me. Please don’t

worry, I’ll be fine. If possible, can Dodie have mysoup?

Yours faithfully,Felix

I put my notebook and pencil and letters insidemy shirt.

I’m ready.I peer out the window. The sun is shining

brightly. The Nazis have gone. The courtyard isempty except for a pile of smoking ash and a fewcharred books.

If I’m quick, I can be out of here before everyonefinishes breakfast.

I hurry past the other beds, trying not to feelsad about going, and I’m just about to leave thedorm when somebody steps in through the doorand blocks my way.

Jankiel.‘Don’t go,’ he says.I stare at him, my thoughts racing. He must

have overheard me telling Dodie about leaving. Iremember him asking me about making up stories.He must want me to stay and teach him how tomake up stories himself.
