The earth beneath their feet had long since morphed into oozing, black mud that sucked at their feet and legs. The pounding of artillery shells, the booming of massive guns, the sharp crack of rifles, and the smell of gunpowder were without pause. Blood-splattered bodies were sprawled on the trenches. The screams of agony and the earth-shattering crashes of shells would be enough to drive even the most stalwart to insanity.…
“Wait… I was under the impression that all infected areas been quarantined at this point,” Governor Lewis proclaimed. Everyone at the table kept their mouths shut, as they felt an intensity that would soon escalate into power struggle steadily increasing. “Governor!” Hanes said, sternly as he raised his voice back at Lewis while pounding his fist on the conference table. “This sickness has covered two major cities, several states, scores of counties, and a myriad of townships and municipalities throughout the northeastern corridor in less than a week.…
Just tears and tears and even more tears. I had turned around slowly put my foot down. I was shaking like crazy I had put my foot down and parts of the fire had faded away to create a path to the door. I had reached the door and as soon as I left the room the fire went out.…
Bullets whizzed overhead hell-bent on hitting their targets. James pressed himself against the mud wall of the trench, as if by doing so it would take him away from the corner of hell that his old naive self had willingly entered. Allied planes tore through the open sky with kamikazes right on their tails. Gaping holes left in the ground by heavy artillery were full with stagnant water and the rotting corpses of dead soldiers, their weapons bent and rusted displaying a haunting past that time wouldn't forget.…
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK 1942 Steve sat quietly, hands tucked in his lap in the poorly-lit theater. For about 20 minutes, the white sheet had broadcasted war propaganda: little boys pulling dirty red wagons missing wheels, collecting scraps of metal for the war effort, soldiers hiding in ditches, clutching helmets to their heads and rifles to their chests, the sound of bombs exploding and tanks firing seemingly unnecessarily loud in Steve’s ears. A booming voice described the terrors soldiers faced in the battlefield, and it was so graphic and in so much detail that Steve felt he was there to fight with them. He almost forgot what he went there to see in the first place. Steve was mesmerized by the scene, like the way unwanted tears swell up in…
Dear cousin Maeve, (History and Geography) I heard the news about the Lusitania and how it sank on the seventh of May, and I know it happened near the other side of Ireland, how are the people reacting back home in Mayo? Also, how is Aunt Kathy? I, on the other hand, am not doing as well. I have news that makes me feel sick every time I think about it.…
It was October 5th, 1945. The war had just begun. Dust was flying all over the area, making it hard to see for the soldiers. Bombs were flying, no one knew where to go, everyone yelling, stay down, stay under cover. Soldiers losing their friends hoping to get out alive with loved ones worrying at home.…
The fire crackled and hissed, well-fed of slanderous and twisted news from the newspaper. It shall be ashes to ashes, died in it's burden. Carefully, I tighten the pearly white gloves around my wrist. I left my room, and made way down the sleepy corridor, where it seemed to be lifeless and dreadful, paintings and portraits hung over my head, staring down at me. I ignored it.…
The other men moved at his order surrounding us. Hot tears burned my cheeks as I wailed in fear; I stood behind Papa for protection but it wasn’t me who needed protection. I let go of Papa and I ran but as soon as I ran I heard that unpleasant sound: bang! Bang! Followed by the loud bangs, I heard Papa hit the ground.…
Cries for absolution echoed in the darkness of the hall that lead to the Lord’s throne. The King was a man of wisdom and compassion who cared for all his people, and they cared for him. On a very unfortunate day while heading to the parish he was kidnapped by demons, and after six months he escaped and returned home. He came back scarred and fractured, in more ways than one.…
A long time ago, in a galaxy, far, far away, is the obscure planet by the name of oof. Oof isn't your ordinary planet. Instead, Oof is a planet where everyone gets along. The words violence, hate speech, hate and bullying don't involve the people of Oof since they don't find the need to start any of these things. But of course, they do have a defender just in case, for whatever reason Oof gets attacked.…
“Hello, Ben!” said Jimmy, still with his strange smile. “Got around, at last, have you? Well, let's go. I don’t know that it makes much a difference now. ”And then Ben Price acted rather strangely.…
The Final Game It was sunny San Diego, California. The grass was cut perfectly and that was the moment I knew it was our time! Mmmm...…
Creative Writing 2.4 World War I has hit. It has now been two years; this unsettled conflict was only supposed to last 100 days. Shells and gunfire are not all that we are afraid of, for winter is coming.…
"GET OFF!" I yelled as I backed off. Little did I know I bumped right into Haruhi as we both crashed down onto a vase. I groaned as I got up and helped Haruhi but, she was freaking out. "We broke a vase!"…
