THE FURRY OF HONOR
Short novel~novella~
D-Day (omaha beach) june 6th 1944
Day 1
I sat down firmly against my seat , as the amphibious transport travelled the waves of the oceans , I grasped my m14ebr and thought deeply into my mind , I looked around and saw the calmness of the others but sensed hidden emotions , emotions that cant be revealed and almost all of us had it , we had completed our training and told us to be confident , but the fact that we were losing kept us down into our knees , only false hope ard our faith and the will to survive kept us together for now.
The captain of the transport announced that we were just 15 feet away from the beach , this made me uncomfortable and everyone around us , almost all of us inside the transport were volunteers to become soldiers , but our revelations appear to be too late , we cant turn back now. As we get ready for landing , we prepared our weapons and equipment. You can hear various clanks of guns and ammo packs being passed to and through
As every second goes , gunshots , artillery fire , explosions could be heard louder and louder which means we were getting closer and closer , I looked below myself and said to myself " Elena , the love of my life , I hope you will fulfil your life to be complete without me in it , and I hope our prodigy will know me as his father and when he grows up and knows to understand , tell him that his father did this for our family and I did this for him " I looked up and saw my comrade "jade" , he looked back at me and made a small smile , telling me that this will work out fine , and I looked around and saw another soldier who was writing a note on a piece of paper and put it in his shoes.
Then minutes later , the transport started to receive faraway gunshots , telling us that we were very close , when all of a sudden , the transport shook angrily and it suddenly stopped , the violent shook tossed all of us out of our seats and into the metal ground , we all groaned as all of us tried to get back to our knees , as the gunshots and artillery fire continues , the medic shouted to us that we hit a coral bed! , we will have to swim a short meters to shore! , I got fear running through my veins as the thought of me not having my marine training kept me shaking. We all stood up and congregated as a small group ,me and jade were beside together , and the feeling of adrenaline and fear started to mix in my heartbeat , as we waited for the ramp to open , I forgot my tec ops in one of the seats , so I rushed to the line of erect chairs and wormed my way around other furs , and not a moments notice , I saw my tec ops , sitting quietly , as I grabbed the bag-like tec ops , all of a sudden , the transport was suddenly hit by an artillery flank! , everything slowed down in my mind , as I saw everyone in front of me blowed up to pieces! And the others blown off by the shockwave , as I was at the very back of the amphibious transport , I was only tossed off into the oceans , as well as the other surviving soldiers , I holded my breath under the water and looked around me and saw , various furs of dead bodies , floating like rubber floaties in a swimming pool but the red blood color mixing with the pure salt water made it very different.
