Creative Writing: My Trip To America

Improved Essays
We finally arrived to America after three months on the boat. We got off the boat and started walking around to see what America was like. It was a really pretty place. The sun POPED in my eyes. It smells like flowers. “ I felt like I haven’t seen the sun in like a year,” demanded Mackauli. We began walking around looking for food because we were hungry. There was no food that we could eat because we needed money. We tried really hard to make friends with people that we saw walking around, so we could find somewhere to stay. We needed a house, money, food, and jobs. We didn’t have any of that. “Are you hungry”, yelled Lars. “Yes we are,” yawned Mackenzi. “Where do you guys wanna go”, gagged Lars. “Well we just got here and we don’t

    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.…

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you about the ongoing events because letters are going to be censored, as they are very strict. Germans are constantly shelling us, sometimes during the day, and sometimes during the night.…

    On Monday night about 8 o'clock, I reached the guard, about 100 people passed it and went towards the custom house where the king's money is lodged. They immediately surrounded the sentry posted there, and with clubs and other weapons threatened to execute their vengeance on him. I was soon informed by a townsman their intention was to carry off the soldier from his post and murder him. I immediately sent a non-commissioned officer and 12 men to protect both the sentry and the king's money, and very soon followed myself to prevent, if possible, all disorder. Nay, so far was I from intending the death of any person that I suffered the troops to go to the spot where the unhappy affair took place without any loading in their pieces; nor did I ever give orders for loading them.…

    I'm miserable. I have not recorded anything for a time, despite making an attempt to avoid wasting what is left of my time in this wretched trench. Some nights back a cloudburst happened which left both sides basically fallen. As luck would have it did not hurt anyone but creating it very difficult to fight. Nowadays I think of these trenches as holding cells for prisoners, the site I am guaranteed to spend the remaining months of my life in until i am eventually exhausted and then we are killed like some pack of mice in laboratory experimentation.…
