[1ST PERSON ACCOUNT: First-person narration in the voice of a young girl, daughter of a Greek miner, living in the Ludlow tent colony. The morning of April 20 — the children playing, the sound of the militia arriving, the order to evacuate. Her mother pushing her and her siblings into the pit dug beneath the tent floor. The sound of bullets through canvas. The fire starting. The silence after. What she remembered and what she did not allow herself to remember. 500–700 words. Voice: adult woman recounting childhood memory — measured, very precise about small details, evasive about the worst of it.]
[PARAGRAPH: What she found when she climbed out. The names of the women and children who did not climb out. Why she did not speak of this for thirty years, and why she finally did.]
