The day we die

Day 1

0400

The war was starting. I was at the French fort waiting at the command of the general to engage and attack the aliens camp. Being the platoon leader is a lot harder than it seemed. Digging all day is hard right? Now 10 times that and you get my job in the army. "General, shall I start the bombs?" I spoke up. "Sure thing" His reply was that very second. I gathered my platoon and the bomb experts. My platoon consisted of seven really tough young men. Arthur, Max, Tom, George, Kane, Joseph and Kyle code named in the same order Bravo, Romeo, Foxtrot, Charlie, Echo, Uniform and Delta. We went into the tunnel and attached bomb as fast as we could.

Eventually, we had finished stacking up the bombs. Now all we needed is a scout at their camp. "Who should volunteer?" I said. The rest mumbled to themselves as if they were a crowd of civilians. No one volunteered so we all went in. The aliens were beginning their attack. While that was going on, we snuck around the base taking things that might be useful intelligence. Tom found something and gathered us there. "I found something that looks like a communication device" Tom told us. "Ya think" Joseph said. Suddenly and abruptly, an alien appeared in the room. " Tango, 12 o' clock" I shouted. We all shot at it and it didn't even budge like Superman. Joseph attacked from behind but it turned around and stuck a knife in his throat. " I'm out of mags." Kane said and then the alien stabbed his sword in to him. We moved further and then stopped. The alien's sword then turned into a rifle. " Get down!" I said as it exploded us. I was laying there, dying, where Max appeared and attempted to save me. He was too late, as he got beheaded by the monster. I close my eyes and tried to sleep as I was dying.
