March 20/89

I am in the hospital again. They gave me a needle 
and I couldn't think right so I didn't write in my 
diary. This is what happened. I went to Mrs. 
Pavic's house for dinner, and she made me watch the 
news while we were eating. There was a thing on the 
news about a riot in Latvia, and they showed some 
people being killed. I tried to look away, but Mrs. 
Pavic grabbed me and made me watch. She said that 
communists were bad and that I had to watch and see 
for myself. I ran away into the woods behind her 
house. I hid there. Some people were out looking 
for me, but I was afraid they would punish me if 
they found me. I saw my Mrs. Pavic's shoe as she 
passed by calling for me, but I didn't say 
anything. It was cold at night, but I had a sweater 
and I stayed hidden all through the next day and 
the next night. I was too afraid to move. They 
brought in some dogs and found me the next day. My 
Dad didn't come to see me in the hospital, but he 
talked to me on the phone. He doesn't like me. If I 
was him, I wouldn't have done that. I would have 
kept things under control. He hasn't told Mom.
