be able to make it. 

It was a silent morning. I could not hear any voices around. I had tried
getting up from my lying position, but my muscles would ache very 
badly, causing me to stir back to the same position. How am I going to 
survive while I cannot get up at all? Suddenly, an idea flashed into my 
mind. My body would creep towards the little girl and lean against her 
as a support. I could get up slowly, taking the ache step by step 
before doing it successfully. I did so, and my effort was paid off. To 
my horror, I found my body in burnt state, even though it was not as 
badly burnt as some of the corpses beyond my sight. Thank God I am 
still alive! 

Next, it was the water problem. I could starve myself for days, but not
in the case of drinking. I needed water badly. The only thing I could 
do was to obtain it from my perspiration. I took off my wet T-shirt, 
compressed it and dripped it into my mouth.  Know that you will be 
disgusted by this. However, that's all I can do to struggle for my 
life. 

I shall end here now. My hand is aching badly after writing such a long
letter. There are not many activities I can do these days since I am 
still too weak to stand up and that I cannot find any food or water 
sources. Before ending my letter, in case I will not be able to see you 
again, I would like to thank you for our seven years of friendship. You 
have brightened up my days and given me support and encouragement in my 
career. Goodbye, Iris! Send my regards to my parents. 

With love, Melissa
