Almost two thousand lives were lost on that fateful day and thousands were blinded by flying glass as they ran to office windows wondering if the war had come to them.This is the story of a young man aged only fifteen who goes from a boy to man almost in a day as he struggles to save many lives the consisted of many schoolchildren who had just began the day. Unknown. to John all of his family perish in the explosion.As dirt mingled with blood his hands dug continually as he listened for voices crying out for help.Tirelessly he could be seen dragging bodies towards the every growing pile along with others. This story is of course fiction woven around the true story using fictional characters throughout so as to avoid reviving memories for living relatives.This is essentially Johns story, a story of heroism and courage we can only admire. A red letter day it was called in the local papers,and without help from their local neighbours in Boston who supplied medicine and doctors as the injured piled up along with the dead., Short story you may say?, but a story that should never be forgotten maybe?.
