I tried
The wind whistled in my ears as I laboriously heaved forward against the blizzard, my knees deep in snow, my stomach empty,my mind and body broken.I have been walking against this storm for God knows how long. My wristwatch had stopped at quarter to two.
My father used to tell me a story of a
young soldier.Once the colonel handed him a sealed letter according to him the letter contained the orders to retreat from the frontline. If he failed to deliver the message thousands of women would be widowed and many more children will grow up without remembering their fathers except only knowing his name.
I heard the savage howls of the wolves. Those bastards must be close for me to hear them in this storm.I took out my revolver and saw that only three rounds were left.I looked over my shoulder to see if anyone was following me.The woods behind me would have looked noble, covered in feathery snow if it had not taken everything I ever cherished in my life friends, family and most of all dignity.
The soldier was adament to get the message to the front. He set off on the journey amid the whistling shells. It seemed that they were singing a melody but a deathly one.
I stumbled and fell face first on the snow. The snow was soft!He turned himself over using all the energy in his frail body. He gazed blankly at the sky as the snow flew past. Would Kristen be cold or....... Alive? He picked the frame of delicate body and stumbled forward.
The bunker was in sight. He had succeeded. He had saved precious lives. He was running towards the bunker and laughing hysterically when he looked up to see the 155mm of steel which was his impending doom whistling towards him. My father had said that the moral of the story was:
Do or do not there is no trying.
My head felt dizzy just as my eyes blacked out and my knees gave away. I fell. I'm.Sorry. Father. I fucking TRIED. I'm really sorry.
