They Convinced You Life is War
Here it is @bukkun-moonsin and @hotaryu. The next chapters will be longer.
A soldier of the Kawit brigade was trying to inch away, a futile attempt at survival. His torso was riddled with gunshots, the pain of it was too much that he had grown numb to it. The dirt beneath him was stained with his blood. He tasted his own blood as it trickled out of his nose – it was bitter iron on his taste buds. There were varying shades of red ranging from bright crimson to deep carnelian. In front of him was the man who was going to end his life.
“You’re a monster” the bleeding soldier choked out.
“Only on the inside” Joven smiled.
Then he cocked the gun and pulled the trigger. The bullet went straight through the Caviteno’s skull. That gunshot was the period that ended the soldier’s story. More blood flowed out of the new hole and to think, he used to feel uneasy at the sight of blood. The darkness sure changes a lot in you.
“After all, so were you with what you’d done to the heneral and the koronel. I let you have the choice of what your last words would be, but you wasted them on hypocrisy” Joven continued.
After one last check of the gruesome scene and an inspection of his clothes to confirm no pieces of evidences were left, it was time to go home.
