The Tunnel Expereince
The Tunnel Expereince “Bang! Bang!”, the deafening shots ring loud and clear as I watch my Comrades fall to the scorched earth in the form of unresponsive, lifeless dead weight. I pause just a moment while visions of my, what now seemed perfect childhood, pass in front of me. What had seemed like 5 minutes, passed rapidly in about 5 seconds as I peer back for a second to try to get a glimpse of who might be wrenching my friends souls from their bodies, but alas, I see no one. The gunfire stops and I get a bit confused. “Did we kill them all?”, I ask myself. Shaking and trembling, scared to death of what might happen next, my legs suddenly, without warning, just give out. I swiftly fall to the cold muddy terrain. Fearful for my life, I quickly lean against a tree, my breath escaping my body rapidly. My head shoots back and forth, waiting to spot someone willing to bring me harm, but again, I see no one. I spring back onto my feet with my heavy yet trust M-16, my favorite weapon, the one I frequently practiced with at the range from day to day, never missing a chance to shoot. I continue to inaudibly creep towards the position the shots were coming from. With great courage I pace forward, knowing not what will happen next. I pace for what seemed about 2 minutes, when in the time it took me to blink, I see a nasty little Vietcong protrude from a tunnel made in the terrain. For a reason unknowing to me, I hit the ground with mighty force, my chest burning inside, when I finally come to the heartbreaking realization that I had been shot in the chest. This realization would be hard for anyone to experience; there’s an overwhelmingly feeling of wanting to be home. “Mom!” I yell out. “Mom, why me?!” As I lay there bleeding to death, the most important thing to anyone starts to leave my mind, saneness. No one know how the transition from sane to insane feels, yet I feel this change from the pints of blood leaving my veins every minute. I can’t help but to think of how they made that hole. Why were they hiding like that? Who gave them the idea to do such a thing? As these questions freely flowed through my head, the life that was so present in me only fifteen minutes previous is entirely dead now. It was totally apparent why they dug those holes, and why they lived their weak lives in these weird tunnels under the earth, away from all the evilness of the battle. It worked. They got me right? They got a lot of people, this apparent unfair warfare the Vietcong used, which had to have been the most deadly of any previous warfare used, happens to be called Tunnel Warfare. Bibliography:
