THAT DAMN DRAFT

You are sitting in your room of your 2 story house that sits about 10 miles away from the nearest town. You sit in your room while staring at the numbers in your hand. . . .

(Y/N) "H-ACHOOOOO, Fuck!"

You let out a booming sneeze that was seemingly heard by everyone in your house hold, you could've sworn that you heard your mother say bless you

(Y/N)"THAT DAMN DRAFT!!!!!"

You say in semi-yell tone as you close the window to you room while wiping your runny nose. You turn your attention back to the card. The feeling of knowing that your number could be called and next thing you know, your stuck knee deep in a mixture of mud and blood and grime.

(Y/N) d-Damn. . . t-this isn't gonna be good. . .

You sit with a un-measurable amount of  stress as you listen to the man on the radio, you have your little brother and sister huging your arms like there is no tommorrow as you stare at the draft card.

Group Number: 5-1-7

You pray (or hope if your not religious) to >enter perfered religious figure/religion< that these numbers are not called. . .

"Next group will be," *ballot is drawn*

"5"

You feel your heart stop

"1"

Your palms are sweaty as your siblings cling to you and your mother and father take hold of your shoulders

"7"

You feel your heart drop as everything seems to stop, for a moment, you feel as if your world is falling apart, you feel like your falling down into the depths of an ocean, you feel really cold.

[ Is this really the end]

You number has been drawn.

(Y/N) "That damn draft"

Is all you can say before you pull your siblings into a tight warm embrace . . . for all you know. . . this may be the last time you will ever hold them.
