Soldier Boys

Part 2

Since Spencer and Dieter leave their training camps, a lot of things had happened…

Dieter was in his camp when the war started, he was obligated to fight and he liked that idea but there in the fight he discovered something very different; what he discovered was: that the essence of war was not to kill the other military side, it was to survive…

In the other side was Spencer who also learned a lot from his experience but his war was different on some aspects. He was not fighting others, he was combating drugs, prostitution etc because where he was existed a big social problem that make people get into that things.

It was Christmas eves when Spencer lives the war in the flesh. The Americans was fighting against the Germans, Dieters army. Dieter and Spencer where forced to dig their beds, better call foxholes; it was raining when the both armies started to cross fight Spencer was in the ground praying when he saw his friend falling to the ground with his face full of blood. There he understood that praying was not the solution to that war and he started to shoot at any movement he saw. He heard a scream and he felt very proud about that.

At the same night when the fire ends in both sides Spencer was thinking in his family, in the Christmas times in his friends, he wasn’t able to sleep about that. In that moment he heard some distant sound, like a young boy screaming it said “Shay-fu”. Spencer known it comes from a German. He heard that for almost one day after Sergeant Pappas decided to kill the boy instead of let him suffer freezing in the snow.

Spencer was walking in the direction of the youth when he finally saw him, it was a guy like Spencer, and he had been shot in the leg. It was Dieter, Spencer realized that he had been shot by him and that the best thing he can do was to kill Dieter and with that stop his suffering.

It was very difficult to Spencer he had though that more that five, in that moment Dieter take his rifle and shot Spencer who died in the act. There was the same finish to Dieter…

Comments on the ending..!!!

I never though that the end was going to be like that. I was expecting or maybe if I could change the end I prefer to write something like this…

The war gets over, only few boys get alive from that hell, Spencer who helps Dieter, returns to his house 2 months after that. Dieter made the same.

Twelve years after the war ends Spencer and Dieter see again. Dieter was very thankful about Spencer’s act. Since that moment they became friends and both realized that war does not make any positive change, and that it only cause suffer and more war…

The end
