A child's sketch in pencil and colored pencil on graph paper of military aircraft dropping something, represented by multiple red lines underneath them, onto a row of small houses below. Red lines colored onto the roofs of the houses indicate that they are all on fire from the ordinance dropped by the helicopter, airplane, and jet overhead. Two people armed with machine guns that are on foot are also seen shooting at the houses and some of the residents, including an old man with a cane.
