Stay on the ground

Gabe01 — Sat, 29 Sep 2012 17:12:16 GMT

Gabe01:

You don't want to risk getting hit while running and think it's safer to stay on the ground. You position yourself in a more defensive way but it doesn't help. You hear a cannon fire off and seconds later you see blood, dust, dirt, and one of your legs fly from your body. The pain is excruciating. You cry out holding whats left of your leg. You sit up and right as you do so a bullet pierces you in the back. Pain runs all through your body and you loosen up, falling backwards. Everything goes black before you hit the cold and bloody ground.

You have died

Civil War

Run back to camp

Gabe01 — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:37:32 GMT

Gabe01:

You run as fast as you can. You push through corn stalks and men going into battle. Bullets and cannon balls race by you and you duck, trying to dodge them. You hear a loud noise behind you and dirt rains over your body. You are catapulted forward and land hard on your back, your breath knocked out of you. After regaining your breath you get back up and run to camp. When you get to camp you run into your tent and hide like a lost puppy. Your home is only a few miles away you could easily run there.

You keep running and you come up behind him. He hears you coming and turns around as you thrust your bayonet towards his body. It goes into the middle of his chest and blood pours out. He looks at you with helpless eyes and falls over. His friends around him turn around and run at you. You try to get the gun and bayonet out of his body but it doesn't budge. You look around to see if anyone could help you. Then you feel something hit you hard on the back of the head. You hit the ground and roll over to see a man holding a gun over you with your blood dripping from it's butt. You have no time to react when the gun, with the bayonet on it, comes down right into your neck. You choke and struggle for a few seconds, then finally you close your eyes and surrender to the grueling pain.

You have been killed

You decide to run with the rest of your regiment. As you climb a slight rise, General Mansfield comes riding on his horse, yelling at you.
"Turn around! Don't be cowards!" you turn with everybody else just as the enemy appears from the woods. "Ready! Aim! Fire!" You pull the trigger of your gun and smoke rise in front of you and all around you. Your ear ring from the loud sound. The smoke clears and you see that the surviving men are running back to the woods. A cheer goes down your lines and you raise your hat and join the cheer. Then you are ordered to charge after the enemy. You fly down the hill and now can see the back of the running line. You focus on a man that is slow and you could easily catch up to him.

Stay in the camp

Gabe01:

You huddle down in your blankets and listen as shells explode around you. A cannon ball explodes right next to your tent and it collapses around you. A supporting stick of wood hits you on the head knocking you out.

You wake up a few minutes later. to the sound of a high pitched yell and then you see all your comrades come storming through the camp. You crawl out of the collapsed tent and stand up in shock. A man runs at you and pushes you down on the ground, "Outta my way! They're charging!"

You quickly go back into the tent and try to stay as still as possible. Then you hear the rebels coming and you tense up ready for the worst. You hear a horse's hooves hitting the ground and they start getting closer, closer, closer. Then you feel as if a 100 pound weight has been dropped on your head. You hear your skull crack and you feel the blood rush out. Your body tightens up then starts going loose, you realize you are dying. Before you can say a quick prayer, you take your last breath.

You forget about the soldier and pull the trigger of your gun. You watch as a red hole appears on the officer's chest and he falls from his horse. You have no time to celebrate when you are all of a sudden knocked down to the ground. You have a burning sensation on your side. You look down to see blood pouring out of your body. You clamp the wound with your hands but you've already lost too much blood. Things begin to get blurry then everything goes dark as you take your last breath.

Walk into the battle

Gabe01 — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 03:14:43 GMT

Gabe01:

You walk into the corn field and immediately your eyes begin to water from all the smoke. The noise is deafening. Then you hear a bullet whiz by your ear and then a loud thump as it came into contact with a man's chest. You feel the blood splatter on your back and you instinctively duck. Then more men fell and more bullets came. You saw an enemy officer yelling at his men. You kneel down on one knee and steady your gun and aim for his chest. Out of the corner of your eye you see an enemy soldier spot you and aim his gun.

You laid awake in your small tent, knowing a battle was near. You reached over to the wooden table next to you and grabbed your pocket watch: 4:30 a.m. You roll out of bed and walk out to the fire. Many men were already up but were very quiet, many praying silently. You sat down and slowly drank coffee for about thirty minutes, when a messenger came riding through camp on his horse. He whispered something to the commander, then the commander yelled out, " General Mansfield's men have been engaged in a corn field! We have been called to reinforce them! Form your battle lines!" You got into line, your heart thumping, no turning back now.

After fighting with your thoughts, you finally decide to stay and do whats right. You get to the capitol and it's filled with hundreds of people. They are all sitting around, talking, and drinking coffee. You search awkwardly for a seat among the crowd. Right as you sit down, a man, the officer, yells out. "Men! Move Out, Form your columns! The rebs are coming through Maryland!" Everybody got up and got prepared for the long march that was before them.
