“I prayed, prayed, prayed. I hope that God saw me. I called Mom and said that it was not safe we would meet again, but that I would do anything to clear me. I said several times that I loved her. I heard fear in her voice. She cried. It hurt.

People jumped into the water, started swimming…I decided that if he did, I would play dead. I would not run or swim. I can not describe the fear, all your mind, what I felt.
A man came. ‘I’m from the police.’ I was lying. Some shouted back that he had to prove it.
I do not remember exactly what he said, but the killer started shooting. He charged. Extension more. He shot those around me.
I was lying. I think: ‘Now it’s over. He’s here. He takes me. Now I’m dying.’ People screamed. I heard that others were shot. Others jumped into the water. I was there. The mobile phone in hand. I lay on top of the legs of a girl. Thurs the 2nd was on top of my leg. I was lying. The insert in text messages. The mobile phone rang several times. I was lying. I played dead. I lay there for at least an hour. It was completely quiet. I gently turned her head to see if I could see someone live. I looked like. I saw blood. Fear.
I decided to get up. I had been lying on top of a dead body…I had a guardian angel.”
