It was certainly a beautiful summer day in Cheshire. The birds were calling, oh how I did love collecting grains for mother. I used to collect daisies along the way. It was the year 1872, war was going on but I didn't have any clue. Mother would never tell me any harsh things. I used to make flower crowns, dancing and humming like Sleeping Beauty. Oh boy, everyone thought I, the 17 year old at the time was a coo coo head. I wasn't crazy in the brain, I was just a bit different than the other boys who would love to play all rough sports, fight, and impress girls. Now I was never actually attracted to females, I was uncertain why. That worried me most. I made my way to mother's bakery, helping her with the breads. Then I started hearing people running around outside, putting up flyers. "Don't pay attention young Harold. Keep battering." Mother told me. Mother was becoming sick.. she looked duller that day. I was not the one to speak up, I was a bit.. to myself most of the time. Singing and dancing and nonsense like that instead of learning, training, or fighting. I did though teach myself how to read. Mother didn't have time but years pass by and I learned. When mother went to sleep, thinking I was in bed too, I quickly made way outside to read the flyers. 'JOIN THE US NAVY. SAVE LIVES. BECOME A HERO.' it read. I took one of the papers, looking at the back for where I should attend. It was the next day, early 8 am they were boarding. I wanted to go to save my mother. She became very ill and we never had enough money for medication. It said I had to cut my hair though, the military way. I was very tired, but I quickly went to the bakery to find something sharp and a mirror to cut my hair with. We didn't have those hair cutters that go buzzzz or any electronics like that. I quickly went back home without my mother noticing. Mother woke up very late, I was the one to make her breakfast and get her back up on her feet.
I quickly pulled up the blankets, taking out my flashlight that I always had in my pillow, to read of course, and looked to see that the dock was very close to my house! All that thinking, oh this is going to be easy, mother is going to be so proud, i will be the hero of my town. overwhelmed me. I was excited about it, not even knowing one single information about the navy, but that it has something to do with the sea. I fell asleep with all those thoughts jumbling in my head, leaving the flashlight and paper fallen on the floor.
