Life. It's a gift, you should never take it for granite. People like to party, and enjoy there times as teens or kids before they get shipped out to the middle of a desert. War changed now. When you turn 21 you have to join. The year is 2019 this war makes the earth like one big firecracker ready to go off. Yes it's world war three. Everyone on there own. They can't trust anyone. We tried to make an alliance with Britain but they destroyed one of our rescue ships for them! Russia, Europe, and Iraq, are all against America. Even though there still at each others necks. This is my story.
My name is Jake Sullivan. I just turned 21, what's left of my friends are 20 so they have another year to live. When your in the army your friends forget about you. It's like you never existed. The only people that will remember you are you family.
"John please, please be careful." Mrs. Sullivan said crying a lot.
"Mom don't cry you know I won't die." Jake said trying to cheer her up. It didn't do any good.
"Son we just don't want to see you go." said Mr. Sullivan.
"Departure in 1 minute!" yelled the instructor on the train.
"Mom and Dad please don't cry, and be happy, don't be..." John was cut off by the train door.
"Sit down son." said the Instructor. John sat inbetween two guys.
"So do you think we're going to die?" asked the scared soldier.
"If you listen to everything they say. Well no your not going to die." John said a little scared too.
They arrived at an airbase and got into nine different planes. They lifted off heading to Iraq. Several hours later they got to Iraq. When they got there they landed at an airbase.
"I know you just got here but you have a mission you maggots have to secure a rally point cite for our helicopters." said the Captain. Nobody questioned him they got there gear and weapons and headed out. There was at lest 190 or 200 of us.
"Were close very close." said the captain of the squads.
"Were hear..." the captain was cut of by a bullet in his head.
"Ambush!" yelled a soldier. It was a massacre. Bullets flying everywhere, soldiers falling dead on there faces. John was lucky enough to survive. The bullets stopped then he noticed a grenade near him. It went off. Then everything was black for him.
He woke up on a field, the sky had no clouds, it was an astounding view. He got up, and saw a town not like any other town he had ever seen. It looked amazing. There was a rainbow over the town.
"Were am I?" John asked himself. John then saw a sign that said Welcome to ponyville. He scratched his head. Then his stomach growled. He headed toward the town. All the doors were closed he didn't see anyone. He felt like he was being watched by 1000 eyes. Then he noticed his leg was badly injured from the grenade. He fell over. Almost crawling. Then he saw a four legged creature, it was purple. His vision was blurry he passed out on the ground.
"Don't worry we got you." said the purple creature. He felt like he was levitating. When he woke up he was in a hospital, surrounded by 6 ponies and a dragon. He startled.
"Wait get back!" John yelled taking a knife out of his gear and standing up.
