It was the Day of Remembrance, and Pri wanted to be alone at the memorial. She was thinking about the injustice that occurred to her Japanese family. In one moment, they had a decent business that just made it through the Depression. The next, they were on a train heading to an assembly camp before being shipped out to Manzanar. The stories of the cold and the dust that entered the barracks, the thought of betrayal from their country just for being who they were. It's too much to think about. Especially for a soft soul like Pri. So, she sits there shivering, just wondering why. "Why us? Will something like this happen again?" The only she can do was pray for the best.

As much as I love my area, I can't ignore the dark history that surrounds it. Especially if it left a mark on the many cultures in the Central Valley. And with a day like yesterday (the Day of Remembrance), I had to make a story around it. So I made one about Pri due to her Japanese heritage. It's my way to address this injustice.
