I could not believe my eyes as the girl who I was in love with, Sarah Jones, was shot by the US army while she was pregnant. That part of the world was a war zone, an alien invasion zone. Sarah was trying to surrender to the US army, but they did not accept her surrender. They shot her in the gut and a laser beam burned the baby she was carrying from inside. I could hear the screaming baby's cry as she died. The baby had suffered from severe burns and could not be saved. Now I felt extremely angry, and I could not control my anger any longer. I was feeling extremely sad for Sarah, as well as the whole of the human race. We were being overrun by an alien civilization and they were not in a hurry to make any of us surrender. Soon they would reach my home town and I was their current target. The whole world had suddenly turned into a war-zone.
I was in the US army as a sniper, an infantry soldier who specialised in sniping. I had been very good at it and had got promoted. I had even earned a lot of commendations and medals for the good shooting I did every day, killing a lot of enemy soldiers. A lot of soldiers were jealous of me. A few even tried to shoot me because of fear that I would get promoted higher than they would. However, I knew all of them were just jealous. I was able to pull many soldiers out of the side of the road, keeping them from being killed. I had also saved many soldiers and captured many enemy soldiers.
We had tried to save the earth from being destroyed. A lot of soldiers had been killed and there were many cities that were destroyed by the aliens. It was a big war. The US army was powerful and had a lot of tanks, planes, and missiles. There were many soldiers that believed in my country, and they believed that it was time we went after them and got them. We had come to fight them, and they did not wish to fight men. But they had also brought with them a lot of weapons which they were using to take over the earth.
I was now a citizen of the United States and was part of the invasion force. The US army had painted all of their tanks blue like the army had done. I was in the middle of tank company with a lot of soldiers. Suddenly, I heard a noise and turned around. The back of the tank I was in had broken away and was falling down. There was no one to rescue me and I was going to die. Suddenly, I saw a bird. It was a pelican. The pelican was holding a message in its beak. It was sent from an alien called the birdman. He was basically an alien bird, with black feathers and had yellow eyes. He had many weapons and could fly above the army's missiles and fighter jets.
I went towards him and listened to his bird language. I could tell that he was giving me a message. He told me leave the tank I was in once it falls down. He also told me to continue to move and finally make it to the first village I come across. I was at the edge of the tank that was about to fall. Suddenly the tank and I were pushed further towards the back of the tank and it started to move. I had to climb on top of the tank to find out what was happening. Everything was going very fast and I did not want to die.
I could only see that there was a war plane above me and it was moving. It was holding onto our tank and was taking it somewhere else. The tank was moving towards the village and it was starting to flame up. The tank turned towards a field to take the tank away from the road where there were US army vehicles moving around. It crashed in the field and I jumped out. I could feel the heat from the tank and I could feel the heat from the explosion. I started to run towards the village, and it was getting close to dark. I got to the village and there was a bed, and I wanted to sleep in it. So I did. Eventually I fell asleep. When I woke up, I saw that the fish were swimming outside of the net. There were also some people in the village who were fishing.
Everything seemed peaceful now like it used to be back when I was a kid. I started to think about my life as a sniper and realised that this was the perfect occupation for me. I could have done more for the army and was able to do more, but I had been stuck in the same place for so long. It felt like it was time to move on to something else. It was like I needed to find a new occupation, or new job, an occupation that was more challenging but also interesting. I ended up with my finger on the trigger of a military missile. It was too powerful for the soldiers to handle. I had killed a lot of them with my sniper rifle. My main goal had been to get a transfer to another uniform after I had killed them this many times. However, my hand got tired from killing them. I wanted to be able to not kill them anymore. It had felt like I had just killed everyone I had ever known. Now I wanted to be able to carry on with something else. I wanted to get out of the army and become a part of another uniform again. I had not been working in the army for a very long time.
I did my research and found a medical company that needed an ultrasound technician and a nurse. I got in touch with them and made an appointment for the same day. I had got a new skill and a new life now with my new job. I was not a soldier anymore and I was going to be a parent again. I was now going to be a father and a husband again, something which I had been missing for so many years.
I had actually never considered having a child for a very long time. I was never in a relationship with anyone and had not really been in love with anyone. When I had been in love, she had been killed in the battle. Now I was going to start a life that I had never envisioned I would have. I would not have been able to do that without the help of a man called the birdman. He had saved my life and I had not seen him since then.
There was also the other soldier who I knew very well, Alex Little. We had been in the army together and we had been friends for a very long time. Now we were no longer in the army, we were no longer in an occupation together. We used to be in the infantry but had come to a medical company which needed a nurse and the technician. Now I was going to get my old partner. I was going to get Alex back for me, to be my partner again. My friend Alex Little was a very experienced doctor and he knew a lot more than I did. That was why I wanted him to become my partner again. I knew that I could learn a lot from him and he would teach me how to re-do the ultrasound scan.
"Hello Alex. Thank you very much for agreeing to help me out by becoming my partner." I said.
"No problem. Somehow I had a feeling that I was going to be meeting you again. That is why I came here, I knew that I was going to work with you." He said.
"I know. It is kind of funny actually. I was thinking to myself, "how do I make this conversation in the middle of the ocean work again? What am I going to say? How can I make this work." But I knew that I had to find you again." I replied. "I was actually thinking about finding you again and wanting us to resume our relationship. So how about it?"
"Absolutely sure. It is a pleasure to be working for you." He replied. "It was actually predicted that we would work together again. That is why I came here."
"That part was a coincidence too. I was thinking of you and wanted to find you again. Now that I found you, I feel like everything is going to be a lot easier to go back to the old way I used to be. I wish we could have the baby you lost again." I replied.
"I know. Maybe there is a chance we can do that. Maybe we can resurrect it or maybe we can try for another baby." He replied. "But the main thing is that we are together again and that there is a chance that we can create a new life. This is basically going to be a new beginning for both of us. He said.
"Absolutely. That's absolutely right. We are going to have a new beginning now. I never want to be apart from you again. I am going to cherish our new beginning." I replied. "I think this is going to be a life that we are going to love."
Alex and I went and got the ultrasound machine and then we went back to the little villa. We had decided to try for another baby, so that is why we were not too put off. We talked about our love and our life together.
The war was getting more intense and you could tell that things were going to get worse. The future for us was full of uncertainty.
