Camp Quote by Emily Eifler
““When they found us there were no warning signs. One moment our camp was asleep and the next we watched our homes and our loved ones burn to nothing.” He let the words sink in while he regained his composure. “They will not negotiate. They will not be gentle. They will not spare children.””
