This is a little story I made just for the fun of it enjoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was strange, the darkness. It started at your heart and took over your brain. And the blood, violence ceased to stop, even when eyes could not see anymore. My heart and brain controlled, trained by another human. “Obey orders” he said and I did, in fear that I might lose my own soul, mind, and spirit.
But, I lost it anyway. In a swamp, we walked in the night. Next to my friend, Tomas we were in fear of what was to come. Smiles on our face, where due to the sparkling and happiness of the stars above.
“Halt” the major said. I snapped back into reality.
“We will be entering the enemies’ camp soon. Be on full alert! And watch your step!”
Our mice like feet, our bodies feel the rush in adrenaline. I knew all the symptoms; every one had a different affect.
This one told me, Something’s wrong. There was something sinister to this one, something I had never felt before. Though, this one was strange, no, stranger than before. It was all too much to handle, for I knew the same ones repeated, most of them said “Victory”. This one shouted something like “Death is among us.”
It was right. I walked among living and dead. The chill ran up and down my spine. I felt a breath but all too cold to be one of a man.
Though, it was only the wind.
I relived for a couple second till a heard a shrill shriek in the air, too close for comfort.
I looked down, then went down to my knees trying to help. For there was my good friend Tomas. Bleeding, right before my eyes, and their was nothing I could do. My head, turning, with thoughts none to pleasant.
The trap was just there with the blood of my dear friend, Tomas. Just dripping, staining the grass below.
“Just leave me. It’s okay. It happens sometime, my time is now.” Tomas said.
“It doesn’t have to be!” I yelled. I couldn’t stop the bleeding, it just kept on going.
I did the humane thing, I cried. While the major walked over, “Move away son.” And did what I was told, then my eyes take a quick glance at the Major.
He was holding a gun. “No..” I gasped. Before I could say another word, he pulled the trigger. One last ghastly scream came out.
The sea of tears that flowed from my eyes, became an ocean over a second. The Major came over and held his hand in my direction. “Get over it son, this is war.” The major keep on talking, though the words he spoke were too painful for my ears.
And to sad for my heart, and it was clear what this feeling was it was death.
“Get up.” I followed orders, because that’s only thing I could bear to do. I took one last good look at Tomas. “Lets move on men! AND BE CAREFUL!”
I walked on, feeling dreary. Why Tomas, please tell me why.
Death. Death! Death for all who cross this path. A voice in my head taunted me. I couldn’t handle it anymore. The feeling of losing Tomas was, all too much.
It was his idea to get signed up in the army in the first place.
We were young and we both thought it was always like the movies. We thought it would be fun, and we would get all the girls when we got back. How pathetically young we were. We never saw the truth until we were in the eyes of death, the face of the devil himself.
I painfully walked on, till we got to the enemies’ camp. We only took a couple steps forward. All these flashes of light came.
We were blinded and lost for a couple seconds, then we heard gun fire.
Then it struck me, They knew we were coming.
I remember the General had said “There are no Prisoners of War at this camp. They torture then kill them all.” I shook my head, I didn’t want to think about it.
Why are all these things are happening to me. It’s just too much. The voice came back to taunt me once more Death is closer than you think. I agreed, death would come for me very soon, even if I didn’t die know. I would die later, forcefully.
I pulled my gun out and formed into fighting position. And shot anything or anyone just to get rid of my pain and confusion.
The machine guns the Vietnamese had were strong. Too strong.
The next thing I know everyone on the right side of me had died. I tried to grab my something to cover me, the mentally tortured. But, I was too late.
The bullet pierced my heart, and I knew I had only a couple more seconds to live.
I found the direction that the man was shooting. I found him and I pulled the trigger. And as I slowly lost everything, I heard a scream. I used my last energy to make a smile.
Everything was blurry, my chest was not in as much pain as I expected. I was thinking This was all to be with Tomas.
My life, my birth, my whole existence was lived for, It would end, here, now. I wish I could have found a wife, maybe have kids. Though, all those hopes and dreams were being erased now.
I lost everything, all these memories all gathering into darkness. And my eyes shut for the rest of humanity.
