Death of a Soldier

Disclaimer: Imaginary, random ideas

It was the part of the night before the dawn - the time when the sky is as dark as it can be. The breeze hummed as it caressed the sands of the desert. What cut through the sound like a ray of sunlight through gray clouds was the sound of bullets.


He had been shot in the head. His eyes were wide open. His mouth was gaping like a hungry dolphin when it comes to the surface of a swimming pool after being offered food. His eyebrows were constricted in a S-shape.

I saw a question mark on his face. Just after the bullet sounded, there was a sizzling sound - the sound of skin burning with the lead bullet. A thick stream of blood flowed out of his forehead down his left ear.

He fell on the ground with a thud.

Not a movement, not a sigh.

The soldier was doing what he wanted to do. The soldier was doing it in the best way he could.

Before he knew it, it was game-over for him. He was on the ground with the sand smeared on his face wet with blood.

  1. It is sad that the people in this world are becoming cynical... I don't know where this will end up... The greediness really parted us all from simple Humans to altogether diffrent mankind.... It is because of this so many lives are endangered.. I really wonder why "our motherland" got broken into "my motherland" .... :(... God bless you Aditya... Very nice blog
