I'm so nervous, why? Am I nervous about losing my life? But why? My life is nothing, but countless amounts of hate.
“C’mon, let’s go! We’re over the battlefield, LET'S GO!”
I zip line down the helicopter. I land onto the ground and all my nerves are coming in again. Why is this happening? I hear nothing but gunshots in the air. Bombs coming down. But I still can't stop thinking why am I so nervous. I came in here knowing that I was gonna die, so why am I so nervous?
“Soldier get down and open fire this isn…” Bang a bullet goes through his head. That's when I realized that I have to concentrate on the Battlefield
“ENEMY AIRSTRIKE EVERYONE MOVE!”
The Airstrike is coming in fast, I don't think I'm gonna be able to move out of the way. But what's the point? I have nothing to lose but my life. I stay still, “What’s the point of living if my life is nothing but a mess?” I say to myself.
“Move Soldier MOVE!” He grabs me and starts running away with me. I've decided to go along but it's too late I've already wasted too much time the airstrike is almost here. What do I do, I'm panicking. I'm running as fast as I can but my gear is slowing me down.
“GET DOWN!”
The bombs fell, I hear nothing but a disturbing flashy noise in my ear. My eyes are blurry, my thoughts are fading away, I see nothing but pure darkness


“Well I guess we're done then, Brice. Good luck in life!” She shuts the door in my face. She's gone—the last person in my life that cared about me is gone. But I don't blame her, my life is nothing but a mess. I mean, look at me—I’m an 18-year-old guy living on his own only because I was kicked out of my parents’ house. Working a job that pays minimum wage, so I can barely pay the bills. Why would she want to be with a man like me? She's better off on her own anyways. So here I am left with nothing but my shitty apartment, and myself. I wanted to get her off my mind so I turn on the tv. The news is on.
“Reports from Putin declaring war on the United States.” I turn off the TV, what a waste of time. My life is a huge waste of time. So much hate in my heart, and I have no other place to put it. Why? Why does everyone hate me? I've done nothing wrong to them. Well, besides being born into this no good world.

I hear a knock on my door. I think to myself, who would be knocking on my door at 6 in the morning? Then again, who would knock at my door at all?I decide to let the person walk away. But the knocking keeps on.
“Hold on I'll be there in a minute!” I get up and dressed, and make my way to the door. Knocking continues, I open the door in a furious way. “What do you want!?” I ask viciously .
“ Oh hello, sir. I’m pleased to inform…”
“Make it quick I don't have time to waste,” I interrupt.
“Oh, uh, well, you've been chosen by the government to join the army in battle in World War 3,” he says nervously.
*Sigh* “Ok so when do I start?” I ask.
“You will be starting on December 8th at the ca…” I Close the door in his face. Now I'm awake so I can't go back to sleep. I have way too many things in my mind to even care about what he just said. But what's the point of fighting against the offer. Not like I have anything to lose. Knocking on the door once again. “I Closed the door in your face for a reason!” I yelled.
“Hey, Brice we need to talk,” Michael says.
I open the door wondering why he's awake this early as well.
“Hey, a guy from the army came knocking on my door telling me that I was drafted into the war.”
“Same here. To be honest with you, I couldn't give a rat's ass about he told me.”
“Wait, Brice aren't you scared? I mean, this can change your whole life.”
“What's the point? We both have nothing to lose. Besides, we can't fight it, that’ll be against the law.”
“We have nothing to lose? No, more like you have nothing to lose. I have a girlfriend, remember, unlike you.” “Get out of my house, before I kick your ass.”
“Aye, Brice I'm sorry you know I didn't mean it that way.”
“GET OUT, MICHAEL.”
He gets up and walks away. I shut the door behind him. Tears fall down my face. My girlfriend was the last thing in my life that mattered to me, and now she's gone. I open the drawer, to find the ring I was gonna use to propose. I rush over to my car keys, so I can go to one place that I don't have to worry about anything. The gym. I walk inside of the gym, to find that the place is full. But, that's the least of my problems right now. I make my way to work on my legs, since it is leg day. I sit down next to the station, because the machines were being occupied. I've been waiting for 10 minutes so I go up to this guy.
“Hey, you've been using this machine for the past 10 minutes, do you mind if I use it?”
“I don't know, can you wait until I'm finished?”
“What the fuck, get off the machine now I don't want to start problems.”
“What did you just say to me, bitch!”
“You f'ing heard me, get the f off!”

“We can settle this outside if you want to, bitch!”
I didn't hesitate, I sucker punched him leaving him on the ground. People in the gym surround me throwing me out the door. “Great, now I don't have a place to work out!” It's getting late so I decide to go back home and sleep.
But I can't sleep. Why can't I sleep? This has never happened before. It's been hours since I went to bed. I count sheep. 1 sheep, 2 sheep, 3 sheep…
“SOLDIER GET UP NOW WE HAVE TO GO!”
Gun shots going off. I get up fast and put my head down.
“EVERYONE RETREAT NOW!”
I run off to the last deploy ship, everyone in the battlefield has died or fled. Michael leads in front of me, with only one seat left on the ship. I hope to God that he gets shot down. 1,2,3… I pull up my weapon and shot him. There's so much action going on no one noticed. I get on the deploy ship. I'm safe, I made it through my first battle. There's still so many of them down there. Bullets flying through the air hitting our Deploy ship. “EVERYONE GET DOWN THEY HAVE A RPG” I drop to the floor of the ship, I hear nothing but a loud bomb. Everything is going to fast, The ship is dropping to the ground. We crash, I can't move my legs. My eyesight is blurry, I hear footsteps heading closer and closer to me. “You, American you're weak this is why you must die” BANG
