.Grunts moved on patrol, being watched by jackals that would occasional whack a grunt on the head if they weren't in proper formation. A grunt that had just been whacked shook his head in annoyance but scurried to his proper position. Grumbling to himself and glaring at the higher ranking alien, the grunt continued to look around for anything suspicious. The grunt himself found this completely worthless, who could possibly enter the atmosphere undetected, get passed all the crazy beasts that lived in the forests of the planet, get in the structure, and all the way in this place undetected? He would receive his answer later as an invisible being stayed crouched and weaved her way through the installation quickly. She went undetected and that was fine by her as she quickly moved into the next room before taking shelter. …show more content…
Grunts screamed in panic, scrambling instead of raising their weapons, while jackals and Elite readied their arms. "I'm not getting out of here," Bridgett panted, as she started sprinting the moment the elevator doors opened. She definitely didn't fight like the Master Chief, always closing the distance and dodging shots from the enemy only to use speed and strength in hand to hand combat to knock out her opponent, use them as a meat shield, or stab them with a poisoned knife and keep going. What she wasn't expecting either was for the Jackal to snipe her straight between the eyes. She went backwards, body and head bouncing painfully. Her armor releasing static as it attempted to shield the SPARTAN inside, but was unable to with the beating that she took. An Elite walked up to her, clicking at her. She pushed herself up slightly, not really sure what she was going to do. She didn't have much time to think on it as the Elite brought his weapon back and slammed her broken helmet, knocking her out
The Other Wes Moore Wow! I feel like I knew Wes or people like Wes. Many boys like Wes grew up in my neighborhood. There were boys who tried to be cool so they hung out with the bad boys. We knew they were not bad boys nor were they cool.
It was a beautiful day for the beautiful game of baseball to be played in the friendly confines of Wrigley Field, Chicago: breezy, sunny, but not a scorching hot, sweat-bead kind of day. Merely six miles south of Wrigley Field, we boarded the CTA purple line el train, along with clusters and clusters of Chicago Cubs fans also getting on each and every rail car from who knows where. But, let me tell you, I was in awe; I have never been with so many true fans who knew, not only baseball, but knew the Cubs! “Who’s ready for the Cubs to crush the Astros!”
I started to silently hyperventilate and I felt my forehead and cheeks become flushed. My stomach was clenched with terror. The inspectors footsteps thumped, one by one, down the long basement staircase. Each step he took, getting closer and closer to my hiding spot. I prayed that he would not find me, for if he did, I would not be the only one to suffer.
It’s spring now and the winter was terrible let me tell you. There were 10 people dying every day from starvation or freezing to death or disease it was terrible. When we were marching there from the last battle we heard that there was going to be food there for 8 months turns out there was only food for 8 days. General Edwin and a bunch of other soldiers and commanders asked if they could leave and George had to let them go he just asked them if they would come back in the Spring ready to go. Hundreds of soldiers deserted valley Forge and went back home to their families.
As the 104th moves on from their real first test of battle, Stash is relieved he made it out of there alive. One thing for sure that this first battle taught him is always to be aware of what is around him. He told himself, just like in training, he can’t take his eye off anything from this point forward. He now knows this is real. There is no going back now.
Dear Mother, It’s has been indisputable here in the trenches, I’m in dire need of new socks. The doctors say they might have to amputate my foot if my trench foot gets any worse. Also if you could provide me with some next time you send me a package I would be beholden to you. In addition to the already gruesome situation, the rats have begun to eat the dead in no man’s land, and steal my bread when I’m not looking.
The man looked onto the battlefield close and far as the dirt landed and slid off his face the sound of bombs were muffled the cries of men were sharp and penetrating he stood over the breech with such comfort while a hundred thousand fear riddled eyes stared from behind he turned his face deep wrickled and rugged filthy his eyes with dark bags underneath from nights with no sleep but the faces he saw were much different men no more than 30 with their whole lives maybe not even 10 minutes ahead of them he's seen it a hundred times before he knew these men were divided they were there together but they were going in it alone with this in mind the man stared back and spoke "At the edge of our hope... At the end of our time... WE CHOOSE TO BELIEVE
Brock looked up in the sky, the sun seemed an odd color, a little more reddish than he was used to. It was also later in the day here than it had been on Earth, judging by the position of the sun it was close to noon here. They were in a large clearing in a forested area, some of the trees looked familiar, but there were many that did not, some of them were very alien colors, with strangely shaped leaves, odd barks and impossibly twisted branches and trunks. At first no sounds came from the forest, the animal life no doubt shocked into silence by the whump and the concussion blast when the two worlds parted ways after their brief interspersion. Slowly the living creatures resumed their normal existence and eerie sounds never heard on the Earth
Another day was so much like the one before, and the many before that. He walked the house and grounds, slowly, letting time pass as it must. Alone, present but not present, for can one truly be there if no one knows of it? Like the saying he’d heard more than once over the unmeasured time of his existence: If a tree falls in the forest but no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? He ambled through the back yard, pausing under the tree from which he’d been hanged, cursing his tormentors, vowing to haunt them for all time.
“Both of us stood up. I mean no more than stood up and that German soldier must’ve had a good eyeball and I got shot right in my arm, very close to my heart. Blood started pumping out and boy did it bleed,” he commented. Richard sprinted toward the medic who placed a compress on the wound and managed to get him onto a truck before he passed out.
It was the beginning of World War One. The sun just started to dip behind the horizon. The sky is murky and grey. The clouds are black, surrounding us like symbols of death, reminding us soldiers of our mortality. The war planes whizzing through the sky were flying at rapid speed compared to the clouds that moved at their own pace, that has been given from God and it did not matter what else was happening beneath them.
You have no weapon. You turn around slowly and raise your hands. However, the sound of a shots ring through your ear, and you are pushed backwards. You feel no pain, but you see blood spreading through your shirt. Terror clouds your mind and you raise your hand and call for help.
Whatever was going on, it must have required most, if not all of the staff in the building. It only peeked his curiosity even more. How long he was in the cell without contact, he wouldn't know. It had felt like hours, but it could have been minutes.
He looks at me solemnly "Any girl of your age would have been broken by now. And not just on the inside." "Any boy your age would've been hiding under a bed by now. " I retort with a sickly grin. "I highly doubt that, but perhaps some are already in hiding."
The sniper raised his rifle and fired. The head fell heavily on the turret wall. The woman darted toward the side street. The sniper fired again.
