THIS IS MUH FIRST STORY. Don't hate, tell me how I can improve, please.
-Prologue-
I'll never forget the war. The metallic thunk of the battlemechs stomping into the battlefield. The cold, inhuman look of the soldiers, their steel armour shining. The fear I felt, as I marched slowly with those soldiers. The crack and slam of bullet meeting armour.
Most people think war is glorious, full of great battles and capturing of the "horrid enemies" by our "glorious soldiers". Well, let those people think, as they lounge in their homes, knowing war is nowhere near them. But what about us? The men in the front lines. We know what war is about. We've seen our friends die, forever lost to their friends and family. We know the harsh reality of war, being it slamming an enemy soldier on the face with the butt of a rifle, or ripping our foe apart with hot lead.
We're not those glorious soldiers of the people's imagination. We're bandits, thieves, cold blooded killers. And I? I'm John Sturmgard. And this, is my story. |

I'll post a bit of what I have of the first chapter. A preview of sorts.
The Sparrowhawk was a rusty old bird, and it made me uncomfortable. Not because the place my squad sat was uncomfortable, but the look and feeling of the place. You could hear the wind howling outside, and I'm sure there was dried blood on the wall. But, it was our transport to the front lines, or whereever we had been sent. They didn't tell us. They just told us to grab our helmets, and our rifles. I've always hated helmets. They make me claustrophobic.
Random bit :D. |

Chapter 1 : Mech Support?
The Sparrowhawk was a rusty old bird, and it made me uncomfortable. Not because the place my squad sat was uncomfortable, but the look and feeling of the place. You could hear the wind howling outside, and I'm sure there was dried blood on the wall. But, it was our transport to the front lines, or whereever we had been sent. They didn't tell us. They just told us to grab our helmets, and our rifles. I've always hated helmets. They make me claustrophobic. One of the other soldiers asked his friend if he had any water to share. He sounded like a nice man, from the way he spoke. But I knew, that he, like the rest of us, would kill without a second thought. That’s how they trained us. If they trained us that is. I was lucky, I joined up before the war even began. I got some good training in tactics and all that [Censored]. But some of these kids looked like they only got told how to flick off the safety and what uniform belonged to which army. Poor guys probably wouldn’t stand a chance.
The pilot’s voice (Xavier was his name, I believe) sounded through our helmet-comlinks. “We’re approaching the dropzone. Better get your act together, boys!”. He laughed as he said that last bit. Made me shiver, it did. Not as in a snowy, cold shiver. More like the shiver you get when you see someone dead, or some crud like that. I asked one of the other soldiers, from the looks of him a Sergeant, what our mission was. “I don’t know squat about where we’re going, they didn’t tell me. Some place in upper Canada. Fire support for battlemechs and a tank platoon, is our objective, I believe.” He was about to say something else, but was interrupted by the pilot again. “Dropzone in sight. We’re about to go in, over.” There was some thumps as the copter landed. The back hatch opened, and we poured out. What we saw next, scared the living daylights out of us…

@Fire
Entire chapters don't always come in one post. Just thought I'd make a mid-chapter cliff hanger. |
