“Commander! Emergency! Emergency!” I heard a voice out in the distance, I thought it was just part of my dream but that was before someone put their hand me. I quickly kicked them to the ground and had them pinned on the ground with me arm on their neck. The man was staring at me with fear; his heart was beating faster then a marching band drum. I looked at him closely; I saw he wasn’t a Japanese soldier of any kind. He was part of our squad. He was a very low rank, still a private, I never noticed him until now. I got off of his neck and helped him up. His legs were shaking; the only thing missing that would make this moment exactly the same as the rest of them were that his pants weren’t wet. “What do you need huh? I doubt you woke me just for a trip to the bathroom” I asked hinting a little insult to him. “We’re… being attacked… by Japanese… soldiers” He was almost out of breath. “Well why are you here? You should be out there fighting with the rest of them” “They told me to get you” Hearing this I kicked the nearest crate, hoping that would help let some of my anger out. It didn’t do much, right now nothing could help me calm down. Nothing was going the way it should. Our only way out of this piece of s*** island was blown to pieces by some Kamikaze incident and now we’re being attacked in a f***ing jungle! I was pissed, more pissed then I’ve ever been in my soldier life. But punching everything in the area wasn’t going to help me do anything accept ware myself out. I got my gear, guns, and grenades’ and went outside with my knife close at hand. I walked out carefully, scanning the area for any surprises. I heard a twig snap in the bushes; I turned my attention towards the noise. I carefully walked over there, then suddenly a Japanese soldier came charging at me with his his rifle which had a bayonet at the end of it. He tackled me to the ground and pointed the rifle at my head and tried to stab it. I pushed it aside and used my knife to embed it in his neck. I took the knife out of his neck and wiped the blood off my face. That was when the rest of my squad came. I looked at them closely; they were wounded. I understood their condition but we couldn't stay here. I was absolutely certain that some of them escaped.I remembered a phrase that my uncle said all the time: "you can throw the rock at the nest as many times as you like but you can't hit all the birds before they fly away". I looked at them and finally said "well what are you pansies waiting for? Japanese soldiers to start stabbing you in the crouch? Get moving!" They moved slowly but they knew why I was so quick get out of here. I looked at them, I saw how much they were pain, how much sorrow they had, and how much fear they had that they might not see their families again, pain that I had already felt a long time ago. when we were all packed and ready to go we started moving towards the beach. I looked at the sun and started to remember my family, my own personal hell...
