He was only 10 years old when he died, life killed his beautiful soul. It wasn’t his choice! It was forced upon him! He never wanted to fight, he was always against it but he had no other option. He did what he had to save his family, so he fought a war that couldn’t be fought. He lost his family one by one, he just couldn’t lose another one.
His mom and his dad died when he was only 9 years old. His sister became his responsibility, he protected her with every piece of him until one day he couldn’t anymore. His sister was kidnapped, stolen to the other side of the border. The only way he could cross was joining the army so he did. He looked high and low but he never found her. As he grew into a young man, the image of his sister faded till he couldn’t remember how she looked like. He lost his family but found another one in the army. The reason of being army changed over time. He still fought with every piece of him only now it was for his country, not his sister.
Then an impasse war struck out of nowhere, the sad part is that they had a chance to win. Two thousand soldiers took their guns out for a war they couldn’t win. He watched people die but still managed to feel nothing. A bullet running 2,500 feet per second across the field, bashed him on the rib. It was then and there when he evoked a special memory, that made him feel sane again for a split second before he died. By the age of 9, he lost his parents, by the age of 10 he lost his sister and joined the army. By the age of 20 he fought a war an died. He lived 10 years without his sister but before he died he remembered his sister’s birth when he was only 7 years old.

A bit on the depressing side, but overall, a good short read. With meaning.

….It should read “THE CONFLICT BETWEEN LIKES DISLIKES AND COMPULSIONS OF DUTY IS BROUGHT OUT NICELY WITH ACCURATE WORDS!” Sorry for the error.
