You are a 13 year old boy living in the country of Ethiopia in Africa. Your name is Nyack, which means "Strong hearted, one who will never give up." You live in the city of Debre Birhan with your mother, father sister and brother. One day, when you went out to fetch water for your family to drink, you heard gunshots back in the city. Suddenly there were several explosions and the cries of many people.

Now you face a tough decision:

Run back into town to see what is going on and check on your family.

OR

Run away to the nearby city of Gondar.
