Creative Writing: We Need To Move

Beyond the surface

“We need to get moving!“ yelled Jerome. It was 1964 in london, UK… the sun was setting and they began to get moving. The troops of London were headed to Iraq. Jacob has been in training for five months. Him and his friend Jerome are getting stationed together in Iraq. They first met when they were 12 years of age. They are going to fight the Jamaican troops.

12 hours till deployment… Finally we have made it. Jacob and Jerome were now beginning to enter Iraq. They were there for two weeks when war started getting hard. The days were getting longer and colder, but no matter what the case was Jacob and Jerome were staying together. Weeks past… And they were growing tired and tired, but they were not going to give in.

It was coming down to the final hours before they took off to start… On they way to where the rest of the troop was deployed they talked nervously, because they knew they were being sent into a dangerous place after not doing much for a while.

But they were certain they weren’t going to give up on their war and their troops. In their minds they were going to fight till the end and give it their all.

“Victor wake up... We’re here!” Came from Jacob’s nervous mouth.
And they were off the helicopter was dropping them into battle. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! They began unloading their things from the duffel bags on the heli. “ We need to get moving men... “ bellowed Sergeant Bruce Wilder… As they started to move they could already hear the gunshots and the war. And they were 9 miles from it. The nerves were getting stronger and stronger.” No worries men you’ll make it out and survive, in the end… If there is an end!” said Sargent Wilder

They had to walk about another 5 miles and they would make it to their war zone. “I’ll remember those words.” Kyle thought to himself. He would remember and believe those words until he made it home two his wife Sherry and his son Justin and his daughter Madison. He would do anything in the world to see them again.

3 1/2 miles to go… “ I’m growing tired!.” complained

And that’s what needs to happen these people are going to continue to fight so they can get home. But sadly there has already been 23 wounded men on our troops. And there has been a major death that struck.

We do not want any other major accidents to happen. So therefore they are going to have to give it our all to get home… So the next day comes and the troops just keep fighting giving it their all, day after day more and more men and women were getting wounded.

This Can’t be happening

The troops had to get moving on their big tarp covered trucks.They had to move quickly though. There were enemy helicopters and trucks. The troops had many of their trucks trying to carry them through the war. The troops were nervous but fearless, and ready to continue and fight the battle till the end of the war and they would be ready to keep fighting.

Just then something nobody would’ve ever expected happened… An RPG-7 was shot from one of the enemy helicopters straight at the ship that was carrying Jerome, Jacob, Victor, Kyle and Pedro. The truck exploded terribly quick… Victor was killed instantly as was Pedro.

Jacob, Kyle and Jerome were all left laying there lifeless. Kyle and Jerome were
