My Love,
Each day the sun burns on my back. Each night my muscles ache. Sometimes I question whether they ache from strenuous hours of field maneuvers, or simply from want of you. Like oxygen to fire, I cannot thrive without you.
It is not pleasant here, my love, nor a place for a woman like yourself. The sergeants work us from dawn to dusk, and we must obey all orders given. Not once will we question their authority. Not once will we plead for rest. Not once will we let out a yelp of misery, as we tread through soggy marshes, and scale jagged cliffs. For we all do it with our country in mind. Knowing that each battle we fight protects our loved ones makes it that much easier to make it through the day. And with each passing day, I know that it will bring me one step closer to coming home to you.
Much love,
Your Soldier
I thought you did a good job describing what the soldier was going through.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is so well written and believable. It is sooo sweet and I loved it. I think you did a really good job writing in detail.
ReplyDeletethis is really great piece of writing. it is so believable of what the soldier has to go through.
ReplyDeleteI think that this was a really good piece because it really seemed like something that an acutal soilder would write to a loved one at home. Also, I thought is was good house well you described everything.
