One-shot, this was my english assignment, but I thought I'd share it with you anyway, hope you enjoy!
Corrie's perspective of when she was shot
It's interesting how simple it is to take a life just by a pull of a trigger. Up until last week, I had never thought of the prospect of dying. Ellie and I had been constantly discussing our future; everything seemed so easy back then. We thought we were invincible, indestructible, inseparable, that is, until we saw the real world. I guess that is what a war could do to you.
The blood that spilled out of me mirrored my sense of hope. We had been hoping for a while, too long had I wished for this war to be over, that everything would be all right. But it wasn't. There was a cruel, unforgiving monster called Reality that bites everyone at some point, and it had bitten to us too, as soon as the battle started.
At first, I had thought that this war would end like they did in the movies, in which everyone would have a happy ending, and that the main characters would never die and end up saving the day. If I could, I would've gone and fought for my country, but I couldn't – this was different. I had fallen before the real battle even started. The helpful hand of hope was not there to pick me up.
Sure, Kevin was there, he always was. Though I had been pushed in too deep, by the hands of some cold-hearted soldier who didn't even know that they had killed someone's best friend; someone's loved one, someone's daughter.
Many people have described that death's icy claw was terrible, but I felt no pain, I was not afraid. Nevertheless, as I fought my inner turmoil to keep holding on, to not let go so early, I knew I had to stay strong; for my friends, my family, and my country. I was not withering in pain; there was no need for my friends to be worrying about me anymore than they already had.
One bang and it was all over. I still remembered when Kevin screamed out my name and the pain that surged throughout my body. I would never forget the feeling of my life slipping away like dripping water as I lost consciousness, and most importantly, I would never forget the cold. Oh, so very cold.
