April First 1945 The major told us we were going to land on Okinawa. Most of us thought that we would die within a matter of seconds. We were wrong. It was the rain that destroy's our morale. Tanks are getting bogged down. We can't even get the wounded out.
April 24th 1945
We've just captured and secure a fortified Bunker that was dug in tight. Our tanks moved advanced but ended up being destroyed in the end. Navy core tells us we won't get supplies for days and weeks to come.
May 1945 Everything that's been asked of us we've done. Everynight we lay in a filthy foxhole praying the enemy won't slit our throats from a banzai charge. We spend day after day crawling through the mud while bullets from both forces whistle all around us. But this will be the last time we put our lives on the line when we take Shuri castle we go home all of us
Good subject material. The mood of weariness is apparent with your descriptions. Have you considered that your character might be writing letters home? Or does a journal work better for you? I'd like to see more of your character's thoughts either way.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually my first time trying this. The description is both having the chracter writing letters home and the character is journaling
