RE: STACH Short Story Contest #23: 199 words, 5 winners, 15SBD prize pool!

in #contest7 years ago

Looking around with pools of tears already formed in my eyes i saw them, i mean the bodies of numerous beings of all categories; dead, wounded and alive.

I mean what would I be doing here wounded with blood profusely oozing out from my left leg if am not here to serve my fatherland.

I still remember vividly how happy and proud I was of my khaki camouflage. I still regret why I willingly volunteered to fight a battle that I did not cause.

Am frustrated because of the thought of never seeing my wife and my two kids. Of never been able on telling my wife how much I love her.

You see I've killed, I've raped and paralysed a lot of people that I've lost count of. I now live like a refuge because i fear for my life, am afraid of what tomorrow holds for me, am scared that the war may never come to an end.

I hope for a better future but all I see now is a sky blood red-A BLOOD RED SKY
