Creative Writing: The City Of Split

Improved Essays
The city of Split is inhuman because of the way they let the people live. Some human beings can do such horrific things because they are either on drugs, insane or have no compassion for others. The thing that makes a terrorist a Hitler or Hussein is the fact that they can kill people without feeling any remorse for what they have done at all. “The sports hall in Split reeked of sweat, not from athletes but from refugees” (Maass 473). This is not an ordinary time, there were people coming from different cities because of the war. Split should have had a limit to how many people can do certain things at one time. Like for the showers they should have let some people come in then gave the first 30 people a bucket of water, soap and a rag to wash

    The ideas of the killers and leaders caused new wartime innovations to even take down more innocent people even as their force went down, making sure not to go down without a fight or leaving a permanent scar on the world. The leaders of the squads drove hundreds of killing drones of people onward through the wartimes no matter the level of psychological trauma they had felt and endured. Homicidal geniuses banded together just to create new technologies in order to kill their fellow man, just for the reason that they had different belief or a different tone of skin then them. Plus on certain occasions, tens of thousands of people would be murdered face to face by and squad member on certain days. Under the influence of Hitler, people joined his ranks and became more animal than man, by following his every whim in the extermination of every human being who was even slightly different than Hitler and his interpretation of a perfect society and…

    The earth beneath their feet had long since morphed into oozing, black mud that sucked at their feet and legs. The pounding of artillery shells, the booming of massive guns, the sharp crack of rifles, and the smell of gunpowder were without pause. Blood-splattered bodies were sprawled on the trenches. The screams of agony and the earth-shattering crashes of shells would be enough to drive even the most stalwart to insanity.…

    There was low-toned talk among the troops. The officers were impatient and snappy, their countenances clouded with the tales of misfortune. The troops, sifting through the forest, were sullen. In the youth's company once a man's laugh rang out. A dozen soldiers turned their faces quickly toward him and frowned with vague displeasure.…

    “Wait… I was under the impression that all infected areas been quarantined at this point,” Governor Lewis proclaimed. Everyone at the table kept their mouths shut, as they felt an intensity that would soon escalate into power struggle steadily increasing. “Governor!” Hanes said, sternly as he raised his voice back at Lewis while pounding his fist on the conference table. “This sickness has covered two major cities, several states, scores of counties, and a myriad of townships and municipalities throughout the northeastern corridor in less than a week.…

    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.…

    BROOKLYN, NEW YORK 1942 Steve sat quietly, hands tucked in his lap in the poorly-lit theater. For about 20 minutes, the white sheet had broadcasted war propaganda: little boys pulling dirty red wagons missing wheels, collecting scraps of metal for the war effort, soldiers hiding in ditches, clutching helmets to their heads and rifles to their chests, the sound of bombs exploding and tanks firing seemingly unnecessarily loud in Steve’s ears. A booming voice described the terrors soldiers faced in the battlefield, and it was so graphic and in so much detail that Steve felt he was there to fight with them. He almost forgot what he went there to see in the first place. Steve was mesmerized by the scene, like the way unwanted tears swell up in…

    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.…

He swiveled his head around, eyes widened, pale face, and trembling hands. My hands automatically went up to clasp my mouth, muffling a scream that never came out. He looked at me, and I looked at him. I looked at him, and he looked at me.…
