Chapter 17
Spooky season needs a spooky prompt
The bloodshed that never end
Bullet after bullet
Casualty after casualty
The battle was never-ending
The war was never-ending
The rise of every sun
Was the fall of another ten dozen brothers
A new day begun
With the rise of the sun
A white flag rose on enemy lines
Minutes of silence went by
Before the first cries of joy rung out
Embracing each other
Tears fell
We could go home at last
Many brothers fell in our noble quest
But at least we could go home
For maybe a week or two
Together we left the blood soaked ground
And the war torn fields
But what we stumbled across
Was not home
The world was brighter and stranger
People dressed so strangely
Large vehicles driving by too fast
Small properties and buildings everywhere
Where are we?
Where did home go?
Strange mechanisms everywhere
People asking and muttering in a familiar yet different tongue
Strange looking people with strange looking things
Wearing strange clothes
And they didn't spare a glance or a word
As we yelled and asked
Where is home?
We just want to go home
I miss the smell of a good homemade meal
In my family's cozy summer home
Finally a fellow soldier went so far as to tap someone's shoulder
And we watch in horror and shock
His hand disappearing through the young sir's shoulder
As if we were a myth
As if we were the haunting creatures from late night horror stories
As if we were ghosts
The scariest thing here is my lack and disregard of punctuation that im continuing to ignore
