What's your problem!?!?
Chapter 1 - There's a war?
I'm not one of the smartest cookies in the world, especially the smartest in the US army. But you gotta admit when your best friend doesn't even know that a war is goin on, and he's deployed into it, its sad.
"Of course there's a war goin on!" I yelled "What you think were here for? Selling girl scout cookies?"
"Um well…. "Said Earl
"Well what?" I said back
"I thought we were deployed to just kill some important bad guys"
Bad guys? I thought, what does he think this is a video game?
"Now I know" he told me as we scrambled out of the jeep.
My name is John, John Seller, the world famous nobody from Tennessee. I am single and have only my brother, Carl and my mom, Caroline. I live alone, but unfortunately right down the street from my mom and my brother. Some people could call me a "hick" just because I have a strong accent and I live in Tennessee. I've got brown hair, blue eyes and big white smile. I can get any girl I want, its just every girl I've met isn't right for me in my opinion.
The reason I joined the US army was I wanted more meaning in my life. I wanted to defend our country, I wanted to be a war hero, I wanted to be known as "That hick that saved our country." Luckily my best friend Earl joined too; we were both deployed for the same war. I thought It was my big break, I really hoped so.
We got flown over seas to where we were deployed. I'll have to say some funny things happened, some good things happened too, but I have to say there was a whole mess of bad things to come along with em.
"Commander!" I said
"What do you want hill Billy" the big man said
"My name is John, not hill Billy and I wanted to know who we are takin' down first?"
"Who ever we find…" he replied
"Alrighty then" I said then I yelled back to Earl that we were goin against anyone we could find. I slowed down my pace so I could slow back down to talk to Earl.
"You nervous?" Earl spat out
"Are you kiddin'? I'm sweating like a dog."
"Good, someone that's not as scared as me" he said
I chuckled; I really was scared, I hadn't gone into a real battle before, with real people tryin to kill me.
"What the hell is that!" I saw something in the sky heading straight down toward us.
"It's a missile" said the commander in a "rush rush" sorta way.
Earl and I started running for our lives, we didn't care about tactics. We ran and ran.
"Scatter!" I heard the commander yell. I looked back and saw everyone running in every which way. Then it hit. We weren't that far away, and at that moment I thought "Five minutes into this war and I'm already dead." I heard Earl scream like a little girl, and I yelled "Bye mama!" And then it went black as I fell into unconsciousness or death. I hoped it was the first one…
