Dear Diary
I can’t believe I nearly got shot out on the battlefield.It’s my first day here and I can’t believe I was already nearly shot. I was so lucky that I never got killed because if I did Sunday was the last day that I would see my family again. World war 1 is super scary that it’s even worse than being trapped on a survivor island. First of all one of our officers said why don't we just run over the hill and fight for our lives and our country. Even though it was a risk we agreed to it because we want to do anything to fight for our country’s freedom even if it means being killed. So we raced up over the hill and started shooting away. It was like hearing your son shooting a person on their video game for at least There was shooting going on everywhere. What is even worst is that 9 or 10 of our guys were being killed on the first day of war. I just saw them fall right down on the ground.I always thought that they will fall down slowly because of the movies that I always watch.I think they just made it to be in slow mo. I keep on moving on to other people to fight with. I will tell you the saddest thing that happen today. So I ran up the battlefield and this gun was pointing at me. I didn’t know so obviously he shot and this guy from my team didn’t know that I was getting shot. So he ran across me for some reason and instead of me getting shot about 2 times it was him that got shot him. He slowly and dramatically just dropped to the floor. I was just staring at the body that was in front of me. I know it’s bad to stare but I couldn't help it. All of a sudden this guy ran up to me and tried to attack me but I defeated him and moved on. After 5 guys I defeated, our team quickly ran back to the trenches and we hid under the long and tall hill. The trenches were not in a good condition. When it’s raining the ground makes puddles which saturated inside my boots. Whenever we have to do our business we had to do it inside the trenches. When we got back 5 people were near the hill looking out for any enemies of theirs. We all got in a circle and discussed the duties that we are going to have like watching out a night, watching out for their enemies during afternoon, looking for food to eat there even though we didn’t eat that much and etc. I am on Tuesday night duty’s because I wanted to take time to look out for people and also spend some of my time writing in this diary and sending letters to my wonderful family. So here I am writing on a Tuesday night and Thursday night and watching out for enemies. On that note i’m going to check if there is any people that is targeting for us. Be right back! I just looked and it looks clear to me. Oh yea I also have to write a letter to send to my family soon. Even though it’s the first day of war I am starting to really miss my family even my brothers and sisters. I know right it sounds so weird that I miss my brothers and sisters. If I don’t make it back alive this Thursday I would want my family to keep this book as a memory of me. Also if they read this and I don’t make it home I just want you guys to know that you guys were the best family a young man could have. For my mum and dad you guys a the best ever parents that a little boy could dream of. Love you guys all!
