“We’re all gonna die, aren’t we?” Every soldier asked the same question.1036Please respect copyright.PENANA1E2wfXTKv9
Every time, a high-ranking soldier would try to assure them, “No, no, we’ll fight and we’ll win. That’s what’s going to happen.”
But, even then, there’s cases like with Charlie squadron of the Bravo army. All of them were in chaos.
“They gave us shotguns! What the hell will that do when the enemy snipes us?!”
“Sir, we have barely any ammunition for our handguns, we’ll have to base ourselves around the close-quarters weapons.”
“You hear that? We’re doomed! Shotguns are useless against these monsters!”
“Everyone shut up!” the commander had ordered, “You will stand your ground!”
“But sir, I need some ammunition. I’m on my last clip for my shotgun. No rounds for my sidearm.”
“Corporal, give that boy some shells.”
“Yes, sir!”
“Now, I want all of you cowards to stand your ground, and-“ A gunshot was heard. No. No, no, no, the commander thought, I’m not even going to turn to the gunshot. Yeah, I know what just happened. The boy who asked for ammunition just killed himself, right? Well, that’s just what we need, right? Now we’re all going to think we’ll die.
“Holy sh-“
“Ya see, we’re all gonna die!”
“To hell with this! I say we leave, now!!”
“Agreed!”
“God knows we want to.”
“Now all of you wait!” the commander began ordering again, “Any of you leave, and I’ll shoot you. If you’re lucky, you’ll live.”
“S-sir? Surely you must be joking? We’ll all be dead at that rate…”
“I’m willing to do anything to stop the enemy from killing everyone on this planet, and you should, too, even if that means you’ll need shotgun pellets in your leg.”
“Sir! I object! I’m leaving now, and you can’t stop me!” A gunshot. This time, instead of a simple bullet to the head, it blew off the man’s entire left leg.
“MY LEG!! OH, GOD!!!!” The man’s yelling in pain was deafening.
“SIR?! What in the… HELL!! WERE! YOU! THINKING?!?!”
“All of you stay put, and I won’t kill you! All of you just stay where you are, and there won’t be any more deaths! All of you-“ This time, it wasn’t a gunshot from a human weapon; no, it was from the monsters.
“Enemy scouts!!”
“We’re all going to die! Oh, God!!”
And thus, each one of them were picked off by the monsters, and many of them lived through seeing their best friends being eaten alive by the things. If all hope is lost, what is there to gain? With no hope, there is only room for failure.1036Please respect copyright.PENANAE9IlFHclxE
