Congratulations, sparkingAC195. Keep up the great work!
I decided to write a short story. Dunno, I guess I was somewhat bored or just felt like writing a quick story. I am fully aware this piece has some grammatical errors and contains foul language, sorry about that. Be sure to let me know what you think about it! :D
The Silent Soldier
(A Short story by PenguinLink)
Bullets were flying everywhere. The green uniform soldiers were defending their post with all cost. One soldier said, “Get a damn machine gun up here, damn it! We can’t hold on much longer!” Two soldiers ran inside their post and struggled to bring out the machine gun. Bullets kept flying everywhere, occasionally hitting their targets. The soldier that was the most prominent yelled again, “God damn it! Hurry the hell up! If I’m going to die here, at least let me die with satisfaction by killing some of those bitches up there! Now hurry up!”
There was this silent soldier. This soldier did not talk at all and never talked to any of his fellow soldiers. He had never done anything right and was constantly being yelled at for his inability of protecting the post. This soldier was quietly hiding from enemy fire when he heard the prominent soldier yell: “You! Yes you! Get the hell up and help these men here! Move it, move it! God damn it!”
The silent soldier got up and ran across the field. The soldier constantly kept seeing his fellow soldiers get shot and others yelling for help and screaming for their life. There were soldiers screaming of pain because of their missing limbs and there were puddles of blood everywhere. The soldier ran with his eyes closed until he reached the soldiers carrying out the machine gun.
“Grab it here!” Yelled one soldier holding the machine gun. The silent soldier grasped the machine gun and helped carry it out with the other two soldiers. The three soldiers finally reached the soldier in charge. “What the hell took you so damn long!! Get that shit loaded up and start firing!” The two soldiers loaded up the machine gun and the Silent Soldier ran for cover once again.
The soldier in charge kept seeing his fellow men getting shot at and he got tired of it. “God Damn it! Soldiers, I’m going out there. Guard me well!” The soldier in charge ran up the hill of the post with his gun and yelled, “Die you sons-a-bitches!” The soldier shot at every moving object in front of him. He then ran out of ammo and yelled “Guard me damn it while I load!” The two soldiers with the machine gun shot at every enemy soldier but since the soldier in charge was taking a long time reloading, the machine gun ran out of ammo as well.
The two soldiers panicked and one ran to get more ammo inside the shack of the post. More recruitment soldiers were coming out of the enemy post and the Silent Soldier saw this. The Prominent soldier was struggling still with reloading his gun that he threw it and grabbed his handgun form his utility belt. The Silent Soldier saw that there was two enemy soldiers coming at the Prominent soldier behind his back. The Silent Solider ran with all his might up the hill and shot at the two soldiers. He successfully killed them both. The Silent soldier for once in his life smiled because he had just saved his fellow commander’s life when he felt something in him. He felt this pain a second, third, fourth, and fifth time. He then noticed he had just been shot multiple times behind his back. Blood oozed out of the bullent wounds.
Blood came out of the Silent Soldier mouths. He dropped his gun and fell down his knees, smiling. The Commander hadn't noticed his life had been saved by the Silent Soldier and was still yelling “Die you bitches, die!” He then suddenly got shot by an enemy soldier on his right that he hadn't seen and he fell down, yelling in pain. The Commander turned to look at the soldiers at the machine gun but he saw that they were both dead. The Commander then looked at his handgun, while clutching his wound and said, “Fuck this.” The Commander shot himself right in the head and blood splattered across the ground. The green uniform soldier’s post was now fully taken by the enemies and the enemy soldiers were killing the remaining soldiers that were left guarding the post. Moments later, all the ally soldiers had been killed. They had failed.
The Silent Soldier stayed kneeling and then finally fell to the floor. He looked at the sky and then his eyes went blank. He died smiling, knowing that for once he had done something right in his life.
