Act 2: Scene 4 August, 1944

Peter Van Dan

It turns out the invasion didn’t go as quickly as we had thought. It was delayed for a little bit of time. Along with that, we haven’t heard one worker in the building today. It was a Friday, but there wasn’t a single worker. To top it all off, Miep hadn’t showed up for a while. The phone began to ring. We had no idea who it was. There was a good chance that it was Miep, but who wanted to take the chance of answering it if it wasn’t? After a while, dad and Dussel began begging Mr. Frank to answer it, saying that it was Miep trying to tell us something. Mr. Frank just said no. He didn’t want to blow our cover.

I began looking out the window. I just watched the seagulls flying in the sky. After a minute, Anne walked into the room. She was explaining how she imagined being outside, in the fresh air, surrounded by beautiful flowers from any season. Anne told me the best part of imagining that you’re free is that there could be anything that you want there. As I started to think about it, sirens began to scream outside. Anne and I looked at each other. Without hesitation, we instantly kissed each other for the last time. After a couple of minutes, the Nazis began to bang on our doors. They found us.
